Your symptoms of dizziness and a spinning sensation (vertigo) need proper medical evaluation, especially if they are recurrent or severe. Low blood pressure, inner-ear disorders, anemia, cervical spondylosis, and neurological conditions can all cause similar symptoms. Since Ashwagandha appears to worsen your dizziness, avoid it for now. Brahmi seems to disturb your sleep, so avoid taking it, especially in the evening. Take Sutshekhar Ras: 1 tablet twice daily after food with water. Draksharishta: 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food. Take adequate fluids and avoid skipping meals. If your blood pressure tends to be low: Drink sufficient water. Add a little rock salt and lemon to water once daily if not restricted by your doctor. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions.
What tests are required to know the exact cause of this dizziness? Low blood pressure and cervical spondylosis should be ruled out, as I have done an X-ray for my cervical spine and it was normal, and I have checked my blood pressure numerous times and it is mostly normal
