Trust you have a neurologist following you. Although you may possess vertebrobasilar compromise of blood flow, which could explain imbalance, you need to exclude other causes, such as B-12, thyroid, giant cell arteritis, HIV, syphilis, lupus, Meniere's, medication reactions, etc. Vestibular physical therapy may help.
