If your anemia is not severe, that is your hemoglobin is above 8g or so, your symptoms may be due to dehydration. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless to ensure adequate hydration. If that does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor.

A multitude of disorders can prompt dizziness, including dehydration, medication reactions, anemia, thyroid disease, inner ear problems, and medication reactions. See an otolaryngologist, as specific testing can uncover etiology.
