Brief Answer:
Cardiac evaluation...

Detailed Answer:
I understand your frustrations about your aunt's medical condition . She had all the neurological workup but need to have a cardiological evaluation, including a 24 hr holter to check for a cardiac arrythmia. Her blood pressure is too low and that can aggravate her dizziness .

I hope that my advise will be helpful.
