Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing most likely is caused by:
- Cardiac issues
- Neurological issues.
It's a well known fact that patients with arrhythmia may develop heart failure (which may be responsible for hypo-tension and dizziness while walking) or cerebral stroke.
This is why i strongly recommend that you should do the following exams to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work
- ECG and Holter monitoring
- Cardiac echo
- Head CT scan
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
