It could be many things

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Such a combination of symptoms could be from many causes like medicine side effect, cerebellar lesion in the brain, vestibular lesion in the ear or just electrolyte disturbance, etc.

Kindly send details of your symptoms, medicine intake, how it started, duration, etc. I will recommend BP measurements, blood test like complete blood count, blood electrolyte levels, imaging of the brain. Eye testing. If you have done any tests kindly upload the reports so that I am better able to help.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Its most probably side effect of Berocca boost

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

From your description, its most probably a side effect of Berocca boost. Kindly discontinue its use and see if it helps.

Since your symptoms also indicate raised intracranial pressure, I will suggest that you visit your doctor urgently and get a CT scan or MRI head done. Kindly donot wait for it to resolve by itself. Radiology head must be done ASAP.
