Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry much..

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

As you have mentioned, age related wear and tears which is medically known as age related degenerative changes is common thing if you consider her age so you need not to worry about that. But i am more concerned about her high blood pressure.
I assume that her dizziness and vertigo are due to fluctations in the blood pressure.

I suggest you to take her to physician and stick on to the regular anti-hypertensive medications

if you have any further questions please free to contact again

Sugar at all ?

Please provide the blood sugar levels with units and type of test , for example is it HbA1c levels or blood sugar levels in mmol etc.

Different countries use different units of measurement
