Dizziness is known side effect of Aldomet. Also it's a weak BP medicine and appears not controlling BP adequately. High BP can also contribute to dizziness. You can discuss the option of changing this drug to other available options like Nifedipine, Labetolol with your doctor. Also, have low salt diet and regular exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
