Welcome to healthcaremagic,
Your dizziness spells is due to low blood pressure. My advice is:
1. Have a died rich in salt for a couple of days
2. Drink plenty of water
3. Do regular exercise which will improve your muscle tone and improve your blood pressure.
4. Eat a proper balanced diet. Many times due to insufficient calorie intake and hypoglycemia you may feel giddy.
5. Avoid alcohol
6. Be careful when rising from lying down or sitting. Pump your feet and ankles a few times before standing up. When getting out of bed, sit upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes before standing.
7. Get your blood pressure checked once a month
Hope that answers your question.
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
