Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is something else other than ensure plus powder, which causes dizziness.
Ensure plus powder is commercially available protein preperation.
So it is safe and usually no side effects are noted. So I don't think dizziness is due to ensure llus protien powder.
Small cell cancers are prone to spead in brain. And due to malignant involvement she may have dizziness. So better to get done MRI brain to rule out metastases to brain.
