He should get complete health check up package from one of the reputed Multinational Laboratories. Preferably he should also consult with a General Physician in your area.
Under such conditions Tele-consultation is not good because the Doctor has to go only by what you say.

It's called postural hypotension , it's normal . don't worry.
Your father was right ,since he stood up suddenly from the sitting position there will be imbalance with the flow of blood leading to dizziness. If he's getting this kind of symptoms get a CBC done. If the symptoms are rare no need to worry
Ask your father to stay well Hyderated and to take some rest and stand up slowly from sitting position or sleeping position.
