My mom also gets dizzy spells and has fallen/fainted a couple of times, she has critically low blood pressure, the Doc gave her some new med. for her eyes and the side effect was reduced blood pressure, causing these fainting spells (I was so mad at that SH, it took all my self control to not go to his office and btch slap that idiot, she see's someone else now)
Getting a list of all meds is a good idea but also find out any possible side effects that may appear when taking these drugs, it could have been real bad for my maw, fall and break your hip, at 83 thats a tough one to recover from.
I hope all turns out well for your mom, but don't feel you have to swallow everything your doc says, ask him questions and if he doesn't want to answer or feels put out for you asking, then get another Doc, you ask your mechanic questions, why not him too.
