Brief Answer:
Get routine blood work. Maintain adequate hydration.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow up.
In view of above details, I suggest you to get your routine blood work done including blood sugar, electrolytes, KFT and complete blood counts. I also suggest you to drink atleast 3 litre water per day. As you history suggests no specific cause of dizziness, good hydration frequently improves lightheadedness.
