Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Dizziness she is experiencing can be due to variation in blood pressure or sugar levels. So better to check her blood pressure and sugar levels in blood. Other possibility is nasal congestion. In such case application of saline nasal drops and steam inhalation helps.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks
