There are possiblities, like not being adequately hydrated or you may have abnormality of your autonomic nervous system causing what you have. If it is really serious you should get evaluated by a doctor.

Transient lightheadedness can occur if you stand too quickly as the blood pressure may drop for a very brief moment. Head motions can cause inner ear type vertigo. Learn not to make these quick movements. Your symptoms sound rather mild though.
