HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, first thing it could be geriatric symptoms but still needs some attention to rule out the some disease, it could be due to vestibular dysfunction, apart from this CT brain need to be done, mean while "Tab Betahistine 8mg" three times in day can be tried, hope this information may helps you, take care and have a nice day.
