I would ask her for her medication list and her diagnostic history, cardiac history as well as respiratory. I would take her vitals and auscultate her lungs.

I would ask if she has any ringing in her ears, hearing loss or ear pressure, visual changes. How long the dizziness is lasting. I would also do orthostatic blood pressures and ask her about the medications she is on.
