Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dizziness may be due to hypotension or cardiac ischemia or BPPV or vertebro basilar insufficiency etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Need to scan the brain with ECG.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
