When i'm standing in the same spot for a long period of time i start to sweat and get really dizzy, why does this happen ?

Hard to explain: In limited space. You are describing neurocardiogenic (vasovagal) syncope in which the heart rate inappropriately slows down for a variety of reasons. The common pathway is transient loss of blood flow to the brain and a hard reset of the system. If you continue to stand you may pass out.
