Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Dizzy spells needs to be carefully evaluated.
2. It is more common due to dehydration. However, if hydration is good, check for blood pressure and haemoglobin levels.
3. If it is related to postural change, then postural hypotension requires evaluation. Take plenty of fluids, and get your blood pressure and haemoglobin evaluated.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
