Hi @Daniela and welcome to the forum 🙂  
From the little I’ve just read on the internet, your partner’s dizziness could be a symptom of the brain stem compression.

Just don’t dismiss it as a stroke symptom that will hopefully correct itself over time, not until all other avenues have been investigated and ruled out 😉
