What Causes Dizziness, Nausea And Shortness Of Breath?
Question: It was the same question I typed in an hour ago. Today I have been experiencing nausea , dizziness and whenever I bent down for 60 seconds to pick up some things, when I stood up again, I felt as if I were going to black out.
I forgot to add that I have been having a little shortness of breath. Nothing serious, just a little discomfort.

Brief Answer:
It seems like Inner Ear problem.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for posting your query.
There are many causes for Dizziness, from simple and easily treatable causes to serious causes .
Simple causes are :
1. Abnormalities in BP: Both high and low BP can cause dizziness.
2. Abnormalities in Blood sugars: Both high and low Blood sugars can cause dizziness.
3. Abnormalities in blood sodium levels.
4. Low Hemoglobin ( Anemia )
5. Inner Ear problems .
Some serious problems are :
1. Heart Problems
2: Brain problem
In your case I am suspecting Inner ear problem more than other conditions as there is a positional occurrence of dizziness which is very typical of Inner ear disease ( like Labrynthitis or Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo )
My advise to you is to get your Blood pressure , Eyes and Ear examination done and if they are normal kindly get the following tests and revert back to me .
Hemogobin , Fasting and Postprandial Blood Sugars , Serum Sodium levels, Serum TSH , Serum Vitamin B12 levels checked and an ECG.
Hope you find this information useful .
Any clarification feel free to ask
