Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome to health care magic!

I have gone through your query carefully and it says that you are concerned about episodes of dizziness / vibrating feeling several times a day for 5-10 seconds.
You are taking ziac drug.

I would like to inform you that even episodes of high blood pressure can give rise to such symptoms. If I have a similar patient in my clinic I would prefer to check the blood pressure both in sitting and lying down position.

Second common factor which may give rise to this complaint is -cervical sondylosis.
This can be diagnosed with the help of x ray neck.

So, kindly discuss these points with your GP and check the BP and if that is okay, go for the X ray neck.

It is also advisable not to move around during such episodes and sit down or get hold of something fixed to prevent falls.

Take adequate water.

Wish you good health & speedy recovery!
Feel free to ask more queries.
