A number of conditions to consider and exclude.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
Tingling on the face is a symptom that may be related to nerve problems (dental work recently for example), impaired blood supply, but, also may be a subjective symptom.
Combined with balance issues these symptoms may relate with changes of blood pressure.
Viral infections such common flu also may cause similar issues, if there are signs of such infection too, or if you experienced one recently.
A medical check-up by your primary care Doctor may give more information about the cause of your symptoms.
In rare cases, brain diseases such as stroke, masses, etc. may result in such symptoms.
In such cases, brain imaging may be necessary besides medical evaluation.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

I am also having sporadic intense itching at times along with the symptoms I have already described. Is this an indication of something else?
Brief Answer:
Itching may be caused by different conditions.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Itching may be caused by skin disorders, kidney dysfunction, anemia, pinched nerves, multiple sclerosis, drugs adverse effects, etc.
It is difficult to link all these symptoms with one condition, so, medical evaluation is necessary.
Discuss with your Doctor about getting evaluated further.
Hope I helped you.
