Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your cocnern. wooziness and dizziness in your husband is likely a side effect of diuretics and statins your husband is on. All three medications can trigger it. treatment is mostly supportive with some antivert or any other medicine for dizziness. If the issue persists you can consult his cardiologist and request for a medicine change if the dizziness bothers him alot. Use supportive measures to prevent tripping while walking to prevent injuries.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
