HI.
Good to know that you worry about your Dad so much.
This is called vertigo , which gives all the problems you have stated.
I think he may need to increase the dose of vertin to 16 mg twice daily; get a strict bed rest. This is usually self limiting.
If the symptoms persist, you may consult an ET and Neurologist to get a diagnosis which may be an underlying factor.
The investigations required are :::
MRI of the brain and Ears / angiography of the neck and brain blood vessels.
