Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Any pathology in the vestibular apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance)
2. Any fluctuation in blood pressure levels (such as Postural Hypotension)
3. Decrease in blood sugar levels (Hypoglycemia)
4. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, etc. which interferes with blood formation & nerve conduction.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine, multivitamin & mineral supplements & Pantoperazole+ Domperidone (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels and vestibular function tests will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, she should maintain adequate hydration, take a healthy balanced diet & avoid sudden head movements.
Wishing her a good health.
Take care.
