-Blood pressure fluctuations
-hypoglycemia -vitamin deficiency
-dehydration
-panic attack stress induced
-alcohol
-flu and Otological causes According to cause specific treatment given The investigations done according to suspected causes like stress history, blood pressure measurement, serum glucose level, HB estimation etc. If still no obvious cause found and dizziness is continuous then MRI will be needed.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You definitely need to check your blood pressure because after 40 years there is all the chances of developing hypertension. Especially if you are obese, with sedentary lifestyle, smoking, consuming alcohol and have a family history of having hypertension you are more at risk. Get your BP checked every month.Also you might have allergy to certain food stuff. Identify. Especially high fatty food like beef are more prone for allergy. so avoid it.
