Cardiologist,  's  Response
Blood pressure of 118/46 and heart rate of 60 bpm can't cause dizziness. Dizziness can be caused if blood pressure is higher than 150 mm Hg (systolic blood pressure, the upper number) or lower than 90 (systolic blood pressure, the upper number). In his age dizziness can be caused by other problems, I would advise him to have complete blood count done, if it comes back normal, then see a neurologist.

Take care
