Hey i know what you mean, i have fibro and get dizzy spells, i suddenly go light headed and eyes go a bit fuzzy, it usually passes after a few secs, bit odd really. Not sure if its the fibro or lowcal diet, mentioned to a doctor they didnt seem fussed. Normally if it happens i make sure im sat down or near a wall, focus on my breathing til it passes and im fine, happens every few weeks. Hope the meds help

Be careful not to cut your calories too much, and make sure to drink enough water.

I have found when doing exercise that I have to careful how I hold my neck, or I can get very dizzy. It seems to have been a trapped nerve. My doctor did some blood tests and everything was ok. I also went to an osteopath who massaged and manipulated my neck, which has helped.

Note Penel's "make sure to drink enough water."

I have dizzy times too and a good drink does seem to clear it in a few minutes.
