Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you have headaches and hot flashes, stomach discomfort and lightheadedness with a feeling of passing out, you could be having either any form of IBS or GERD with or without H pylori infection. These are the two conditions to be ruled out first. Other conditions to be strongly ruled out in your case could be cervical spinal nerve compression, Meniere’s disease of the ear, wax in the ear, infection of the middle or inner ear, benign positional vertigo and benign intracranial hypertension. Hence it is important to consult an ENT specialist and a neurologist too. At times back and neck problems may persist for years before they really start giving trouble. Chances of TMJ too should be looked into. Other causes are anemia, hypoglycemia or low sugar and some endocrine problems, such as an underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (called hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency (called Addison's disease),  and in some cases, diabetes, may lead to hypotension and hence lightheadedness and an off balance feeling. It can also be an anxiety and panic attack. It is really difficult to comment on the net. I suggest you consult your PCP to run the basic investigations and get an insight into what could be the cause. Depending on clinical examination and tests, your PCP can refer you to the appropriate specialist. Hope this helps. Take care!

Hello if it just started it is possible you are having the dizziness related to an inner ear infection or sinus issue. There are many other conditions that could also be the cause such as blood pressure problems, infection, visual issues, or tumor to name a few.   You need to see your doctor to determine the exact cause so your doctor can decide what treatment is needed to best take care of your problem.   I Hope This Helps.

When you say dizzy, do you mean light-headed or do you mean vertigo (spinning sensation)- how would you characterize it?  Do you feel off-balance?  Do you have your blood sugar under good control with medication and or diet and exercise?  Are you checking it regularly?  Regarding your stomach conditions- have any of these been diagnosed as to what's causing the discomfort?  Is it your stomach proper or a certain section(s) of your abdomen and if the latter, which portion(s)?
