Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor for your symptoms.
Dizziness and fall down is something related to brain.
So you should consult neurologist and get done clinical examination of Central nervous system (CNS) and MRI brain to rule out internal damage.
Also get done blood pressure monitoring because high blood pressure can cause similar symptoms.
Chest pain on coughing is seen in lung infection. So get done chest x ray to rule out this.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
