Hello
I would be pleased to answer your question.

The symptoms that you are getting are due to the fluctuations in the Sugar levels in your blood.
This is very commonly seen in Pre Diabetics and Diabetics.
It can also occur due to Fluctuating Blood pressures but mostly it is due to alteration in the sugar levels in the blood.
You will need to re check your Blood for fasting and Post prandial sugar levels , the first thing.

Thanks and take care

I'm on lisinopril. Sometimes i'm taking medication for migranes. No ear pain. Yes, when i move my head headiness increases

Thanks for the reply again .
When on the movement the light headedness is increasing , your middle ear might be involved resulting in the symptoms. It causes a condition called benign positional vertigo and light headedness. You will need to also visit an ENT doctor for the same.
Thanks and Take care
