The commonest reasons for a 63 year old to develop such symptoms would be due to an inner ear mechanical problem triggered by certain positions adapted by the head while getting up from a lying or sitting position or on looking down, this could be evaluated and treated by an ENT(Ear, nose and throat) specialist.The next likely cause could be due to cervical spondylosis which is a degenerative age related change in the cervical spine(neck spine) , this could be addressed by a Physical therapist/Physiotherapist.The treating physical therapist would want a radiological imaging like an Xray prior to beginning treatment.Pine bark extract pills are not known to be a precursor for such symptoms however its very difficult to comment on such products which do not have a complete scientific analysis behind its usage/ efficacy /side effects.
