Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
As you mentioned you have issue with your balance of your body that may be because of thyroid problem or anemia or ear infection or ear injury or other reasons.
Consult a ENT specialist for further diagnosis.
Otoscopy examination of ear give exact idea about problems.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
I hope this will help you.
