My mother is 89 years old and in remarkable health.. although she does have relatively mild heart issues.. she takes a fluid pill each day along with Lipitor and one other pill... not sure what it is.. Anyway, she is complaining of dizziness and lightheadedness almost all of today.. I'm not sure how to help her. She won't let me call her family doctor.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Dizziness is a side effect of lipitor, but we need to rule out other causes for it.
Get check her blood pressure done and try to keep her blood pressure with in normal range. get her ear test done inner ear problems results in dizziness. Better to get examined by your family doctor.
Hope this helps you.
