Hello
After going through the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern for your dad’s health and I would like to tell you that taking into consideration the previous history of blood clots in lungs it’s highly advisable that without wasting any time you should take him to an ER department as he will be requiring couple of tests (like MRI Head, blood tests) to rule out the underlying cause of his dizziness and lightheadedness.
