Dizzy Mum: The first consideration is her BP is falling too much when she stands. Why? Dehydrated, anemic, heart problems, mini strokes. Of you do not have a home BP device get one. And check BP seated and standing if falls more than 10 mm Hg call her Dr. would call Dr anyway as they may know what is most likely.
