Suffering From Dizzy Spells. On Heart Cath. History Of Heart Attacks. Normal Symptoms?

Hi, my father is 55 yrs old and had a heart attack that resulted in him having a heart cath the next day. Ever since the heart cath, he has been having these terrible dizzy spells. He says that is exactly how he felt right before his last heart attack. He has these dizzy spells several times a day. The doctors say that his vitals are fine and his heart looks okay. Is this normal.
