Just putting this out there. My Dad is a very fit man. He's 84 and has been walking all his life. We went to Devon and Cornwall in October and he walked as much as myself. We always went for long walks when I visited him at home.

But over the last three months or so he has become unsteady on his feet. He says it isn't dizzyness, more of a muddled head that comes on him. So he's now walking with a stick, and he isn't able to walk very much at all.

Other than that he's in great health. He's been to the doctor and the optometrist and all is well. He's out in the garden and as long as he has his stick he's able to walk a bit in town.

So I am wondering, as is he, can old age come on a person that quickly? Or is there something he should be looking in to?
