Dizzy spells

I am a healthy 68 year old female with thyroid issues I take meds for daily. Lately I have been having dizzy spells or almost fainting. I have had my doctor run a Complete Blood Count an every thing comes back normal. It happened again today and I was driving, scared the crap out of me, but was able to stop and put car in park. Slight headache afterwards, went home and bp was normal and I am not diabetic, took a Xanax for stress. I am caregiver for my son who is a cancer patient. Anybody have any ideas how to stop the dizziness, I’m afraid I’ll pass out and become someone’s emergency. Any ideas are welcome.
