Welcome to Connect, @ninon
There are a few members who have talked about issues with balance and light-headedness or dizziness here. Let me bring @ryman @oceanfun1 and @sacolucci into this discussion. You may also wish to read through these discussion where members have offered a variety of suggestions for further investigation of similar symptoms to your husbands.
- Balance and falling a lot https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/balance-and-falling-a-lot/
- Falling for no apparent reason https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/falling-for-no-apparent-reason/
- Chronic subjective dizziness https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-subjective-dizziness/
If you would like to seek help from Mayo Clinic, please call one of our appointment offices. The contact information for Minnesota, Arizona and Florida can be found here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
I can only imagine how frightening this must be for both of you.

Thanks so much. Ninon
Thanks. He has had a brain MRI which was negative. An ultra sound was done and per the vascular neurologist when my husband's had was erect and straight (the position it would be in when walking and driving) there was a "kinking" in the vestibular artery and for that reason a angiogram and then CT angiogram were done that did not find an abnormality.

This person needs a brain MRI to be taken to rule out things
