Hi @rivermaya34, I'm pretty much balance challenged myself. You mentioned the symptoms pretty much changed the past few months. I think it's a good idea to let your neurologist or doctor know sooner rather than later. I found some really good information that may shed a little light on what may be going on and help answer your questions.

I think the fact that you recognize you are having the symptoms gives you a heads up and may help you prevent a fall. Mayo Clinic has some simple balance exercises that may be helpful here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/multimedia/balance-exercises/sls-20076853
Hoping you have a much better day and find some answers.
