Hi,
Thank you for posting the query.
The cause of dizziness in your husband could be due to:
1. Blood clot (haemorrhage) in the brain,
2. Concussion- after head injury, concussion ca lead to dizziness.
As of now, symptomatic treatment with betahistine would suffice.
Dizziness would subside in a few days.
Best wishes,
