Brief Answer:
could be stroke

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to healthcaremagic,

Your symptoms are neurological. It is possible that you have suffered a stroke.
Disturbances in vision like double vision , confusion and imbalance can be symptoms of a stroke.
Please see a neurologist at the earliest. You will require investigations like CT scan or an MRI along with routine blood investigations.

Do not delay since without treatment the symptoms can worsen.
