Hi,

How are you?
Since all the neurological causes are excluded. The dizziness that your grandmother is experiencing could be due to nutritional deficiency, high or low BP, dehydration, low blood sugar, poor eyesight and excessive fatigue.
Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Thank you so much
