My father is 68 years old. He only has high blood pressure and high cholesterol . He has been experiencing over 8 months, sudden onset of unsteadyness, confusion, not being able to get words out correctly, and especially vision as if looking through a fishbowl. Having trouble picking up something because he reaches and he is reaching beside the item. We took him to the ER and they did a work up and said he was fine. He also has anger spells. We know something is wrong. What should our next step be?
