What Causes Dizziness And Light-headedness?

I ve been getting very lightheaded, my head starts spinning and it feels like I m going to pass out. My head also starts hurting way on the inside. It lasts about 20 seconds. I almost passed out this time. What do you think is going on? My BP is fine and my blood sugar is fine after these episodes
