Can you feel light-headed or kinda dizzy when you bend over really quickly and hold it there and come back up quickly? does it mean ear problem?

Dizzy: You are describing a transient decrease in blood return causing those symptoms from the mechanical effects of the position changes. No ear problem is implied.
