My father had ms what are the chances that i too will suffer from it? my coordination has deteriorated recently.

Remote possibility: MS is not contagious or hereditary. So the chances of your getting MS is very remote. So I would not worry about it. If you have any new symptoms develop, then a neurological examination may help you to clear any doubts. But coordination problem alone is not enough to suspect MS.
