Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms of sudden lightheadedness, blurring of vision.....
indicate transient ischemia.
The common causes are hypotension, hypovolemia, hypoglycemia....
Once these are ruled out pathological causes like vascular diseases like carotid artery disease.... needs to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
