Hi,
Thanks for your question.
After going through your question, I want to know whether you are on any medicines for high blood sugar levels?
If yes from how many days and name and doses of Medicine.
Giddiness and heavy headedness may be due low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) which may be due to missed meal or unusual dose of antidiabetic medicine.
It can be confirmed by checking blood glucose level during episode of giddiness.
You need a detailed clinical examination including blood pressure check up and neurological evaluation depending upon it further evaluation can be planned.
Hope this helps you.
