Brief Answer:
Hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia should be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
Have you experienced similar episode before, or is it for the first time.
Is it occurring all the time or in certain position of head movement.
I, after initially examination, would have checked your blood pressure, as hypertension can be one of the reason. Other would be hypoglycemia, for that I would have asked you for random blood sugar test .
On obtaining these reports, I would have decided on whether you require medication or not.
Hope this helps.
Take care
