Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted the history of your husband having hypertension and stressful life. Had a carotid surgery about one month back and now developed dizziness and weakness.

I would advise him the following:
Carotid color doppler and MRI angiography of the neck and the brain to see if there are any vascular causes.
Monitor blood pressure to normal.
Once the diagnosis is made, to get treated accordingly.
