Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.

Cause for dizziness has to be searched for and treated ....
According to history here cardiac cause seems to be causative factor....
Left ventricular failure by hypertension or other cause might be causative for dizziness.
So if LVF there treated with diuretic.

If still dizziness there then vestibular neuritis or otological cause searched for .
If still cause not clear then CT scan done for neurological organic cause detection.

Vestibular sedative like cinnerazine useful drug.
Avoid driving.....

For gout allopurinol prophylactically can be started.

Take care.
