Hi
I had gone through your question , and understand your concern. I think the problem of light headedness you are having is because of fluctuation in blood pressure (mostly because of low blood pressure) . This 24 hr BP monitor will give a good idea about his BP fluctuations and help the doctor to understand the nature of this condition.
If necessary , medicines can be prescribed for this. But thers is nothing serious that you should be worried about.
I hope this information is helpful.
Thankyou
