Hello dear
The narration of problems in your husband seems to be related to ataxia. This may be due to posterior circulation stroke, transient ischaemic attacks , cerebellitis, acute vestibular neuronitis or seizure.
I will advise you to consult a neurologist for proper examination and evaluation and investigate accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
