HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Treatment can be given only when we know what is the cause of fainting/dizziness.

There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes .

Simple causes are :

1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness.
2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.

3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .
6. Thyroid Problems.

Some serious problems are :

1. Heart Problems
2: Brain problem



I advise to get her Blood Pressure , Hemogobin , Serum Sodium , Serum TSH , Serum Vitamin B12 levels checked and if they are normal get a ECG and a ENT check up done .

Revert back to me with the reports for further discussion.

Hope you find this information useful .

Any clarification feel free to ask
