Suggest Treatment For Light Headedness And Numbness

my boyfriend of 55 years old has been complaining of being very light headed and dizzy when her turns over in bed or get up too fast and he also said his toes (middle to little) feel numb. This has been going on for a about a week now. As far as I know he has not other medical problems. Should I be worried? Also he does not like to go to the doctors unless its life threating..
