Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So she can easily continue tamoxifen tablets. Blood pressure needs to be controlled. Tamoxifen does not causes high blood pressure.
If she suffers from.hot flashes, then venlafaxine drug can be added which will provide relief.

Brief Answer:
Hello. You can give venlafaxine

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Yes you can give venlafaxine , however adequate bp control is important and she must visit a physician for that.
If still dizziness persists, then an mri of brain may be necessary.
Venlafaxine can be given three times a day and you will require a prescription for that from your physician
