If you cannot remain upright properly with eyes closed, that is the Romberg's test. It basically points to low B12 levels in the nervous system. So I would have that tested ASAP and do not accept "normal" from the doctor. Get the numbers! US has very low lab ranges which are now out of date. You need to be at 400 US units for the lowest normal today.
Here is the B12 thread with medical links:

Don't assume all doctors know this information, because many don't.
