HI,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
All the drugs after stroke is only meant for hypertension, hypercholestrolaemia ( anti hypertensive & lipid lowering agents).
As far as concerned about dizziness , may be due to hyper acidity , hypertension.
Please also mention about diabetes history.
If all things are normal piracetam may improve some memory , but this drug should be taken after the advice of treating doctor.
Some Ayurvedic drugs are good memory booster ,so consult the doctor and get it.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
