Any Suggestion For Having Dizziness, Sensation Of Waves In Brain?
My 91 year old grandmother has recently been having dizziness. She describes it as a sensation of waves in her brain. The episodes do not seem to relate to suddenly standing from a seated position. Her blood pressure when measured shortly after does not seem to be abnormal.

From your description it sounds like your mother is have a spinning type dizziness or labyrinthitis. This is usually self limiting and should resolve by itself in a few days to weeks. If it persists I would recommend her seeing a neurologist to do further investigation to find other causes of her dizziness.
