Sounds troubling: I am sorry for your troubles. The sensation of lightheadedness can be quite problematic. It is good you have not passed out / fainted. You are right to think something could be wrong. If this continues you should seek medical care for a full history and physical exam. Good luck.

Could be dehydration: A number of things can cause this, dehydration, low blood sugar or low blood pressure from dehydration or medication. You should be evaluated by your doctor to help you figure out the cause.
