Hi welcome to HCM.
High blood cholesterol levels can be associated with plaque deposition within the carotids and cerebral vasculature.This can lead to symptoms of dizziness and weird feelings if there is diminished blood supply to brain.I advice you to have a carotid Doppler of both sides with a CT scan brain.Periodic monitoring of blood pressure is essential.Consult your doctor for further care,
Thank you
