Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Hot flashes , vaginal dryness, bone pains are features of post menopausal syndrome.
Dizziness, heavy head may be due to cervical spondylosis or some primary tension type headache.
She need to be investigated for blood sugar, hypertension, vitamin B12 , vitamin D3, urea , creatinine.
