Don'tIgnoreAnyOfThis: Probably due to the G.O. Syndrome ('Gettin' Old). But before we jump to that conclusion we should get a full checkup with a physical exam and some tests based on that. Do this sooner than later so he doesn't fall and break a hip. If that happens he'll then be in deep doodoo Get rid of any throw carpets.He should be helped in the shower. Worsening dizziness is a worrisome sign, so get him seen soon
