Problem to balance while walking
My 80 year old dad is having a lot of difficulty to balance while walking even at home since the past 2 weeks. He has diabetes, blood pressure since a long time and has ongoing medications for the same. Since the past two months he has been prescribed Flodart 0.4 due to urine problem caused by a small cyst in the kidney. Is this problem in balance possible due to the kidney problem or something else?

A neurologist would be able to give you a correct diagnosis after examining him in detail. An MRI of the brain would be helpful. Controlling his sugar and blood pressure would be helpful. Supplements like Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D3 would also help.
