Dizziness is a vague term.. clarify whether it’s drowsiness or vertigo or blurring of vision. Diagnosis and management depends on the exact diagnosis. Consult me for further management

Dizziness is unlikely due to fall.
It is due to medication. Usually these drugs are sedatives, which causes drowsiness or giddiness. If the symptoms present all over the day, consult your treating doctor for change of dose or tablet.
