1. the above said symptoms in in your age requires detailed symptom wise approach and examination along with baseline investigations.

. Ask for Hb%, X-ray Cervical spine [commonest cause],blood sugar curve, ENT and ophthalmic check up.
. If associated with any neurological sign, consult a Neurologist.
. since you are on blood pressure lowering medicine, it may be due to excess dose or postural hypotension. [have a Cardiologist opinion]
