Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of transient ischemic attack (TIA) is more.
It is momentary decrease in blood supply to some part of brain which is causing sudden onset dizziness, not able to stand, imbalance, breathlessness etc.
So better to consult neurologist and get done clinical examination of Central nervous system (CNS), blood pressure monitoring and MRI brain to rule out major CNS pathology.
Also get done serum lipid profile to rule out dyslipidemia.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
