Hi,
Thanks for using HealthcareMagic
Acute dizziness can be due to different possible causes such as- dehydration, inner ear conditions, electrolyte disorder. The stress response can cause an increase in blood pressure to occur. If symptoms recur then he may need to consider seeing an ENT specialist for assessment.
I hope this helps
