For dizzy spells, Grab an ice bag for the back of your neck. Sit or lay down and place on the BACK side of your neck. It will bring you out of it quick.
I get dizzy spells often (anxiety related) and I keep a water bottle half frozen with me at all times. Place a water bottle half full in your freezer, allow to freeze solid. When you are ready to go you can fill it up the rest of the way. The ice will last a long time if you purchase a bottle cozy, and you will have fresh cold water to sip (helps too).

Unless there's a medical condition, dizziness is caused many times by dehydration.
Drink lots of water everyday to keep the body and brain hydrated, around half your body weight in ounces.

For dizziness if you are standing sit down, then take 10 deep breaths, afterwards lie down for 10 minutes, this technique promotes good return of oxygenated blood to you brain -> therefore it could promote better nutrients to your brain cells and make you feel better.

it is said that if you apply pressure four fingure-widths below you kneecap, it will help to lower your dizziness. gradually increse pressure on this accupressure point and hold for two minutes. i personally do not know if this works, but you can try it out.

I find the only thing that works for me is to take a gravol. (motion sickness pill)
It stops it within 10-15 mins but they make you drowsy.

For Dizziness, you can start by taking an Iron Supplement in the morning. Only take half the recommended dose, however since Iron can interact with the absorbtion of other vitamins, like Vitamin D, and therefore cause issues with absorbing calcium. You may also want to supplement this with vitamin D or a regular multivitamin. Most multivitamins with iron themselves will not have enough iron to counteract any dizziness that you may be experiencing. That's why it's good to take an iron pill along with a regular multivitamin or just Vitamin D.

Dizziness should start to diminish within a couple of days or so. If not, there may be other avenues you may want to persue, like checking your blood sugar levels, or consulting with your doctor, etc.

This has worked for me and may work for others, especially if there is a history of anemia in your family. The dizzy spells made dieting almost impossible until I started taking Iron. I noticed that my joint pain started to come back, however, and had to increase my vitamin D intake and lower my Iron intake and the joint pain along with the dizzy spells have all gone away.

When I get really dizzy and head feels kind of buzzy I shake my head back and forth (make sure you are sitting down) like you are motioning 'no' as super fast as you can with your eyes closed. It may feel a little dizzy when you open your eyes for a second but that head pressure/buzz goes away and so do the dizzies for a little while at least for some relief.
