I am 69 years old and in good health, but recently, when I get up from a chair or bed, I experience severe dizziness. I haven't seen a doctor yet and I take six different medications: Tramadol 50mg, diclofenac 75mg, Citalopram, Atorvastatin, and Alendronate. What could be causing this dizziness and what should I do?

I’m a 72-year-old diagnosed with level 2 moderate bladder prolapse along with a prolapsed vagina. I’m considering La Diva laser therapy and wondering if it works for vaginal tightening as well as moderate bladder prolapse. My health is generally good, but the prolapse has been ongoing for a decade, and the widening is affecting my confidence. I take losartan for high blood pressure and am 15 lbs overweight. What are my options for treatment, and does laser therapy have any effect on my condition?
