Hello and welcome to HCM,
Imbalance and inability to spell right suggests that you are suffering from neurological problem.
Vascular cause is one of the most common cause of neurological symptoms in old age.
You need to consult your doctor for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.
A MRI scan of the brain is required to look for any pathological change in the brain.
Thanks and take care
