Call doc.: Both can cause dizziness. Dizziness should not be the only reason he got both meds. Call doc for advice on whether to stop, change dose, or get seen to make sure there is no serious cause of dizziness. Dizziness in older people need to be investigated thoroughly if it lasts more than a 2-3 days (and was felt to be nothing much before that).
