What could cause frequent headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, and balance problems?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have been having frequent (almost constant) headaches and they have gotten worse over the past week or so, and I have also had dizziness, blurred vision, balance problems (I keep falling over for no reason), nausea, and just yesterday I started talking with a stutter (that is very unlike me, normally I talk pretty fast and I have never had a stutter before).

Thank you.
