Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If he is a ischemic heart disease patients then Procardia XL is not much useful. Procardia and Valsartan both are anti hypertensive drugs but not a same group of drugs.
If he is having no cardiac problem he can take both no problem. If he is having cardiac problem stop Procardia XL because calcium channel blockers not much useful . If he is suffering from giddiness means may be he is having hypotension or BPPV or autonomic neuropathy etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
