Hi,
I am Dr.Bruno and Let me answer your query.

I am sorry to hear about your wife's problems
1. getting dizzy when getting up from sitting or laying down
2. very fatigued and
3. no energy
4. bad taste in her mouth that she describes as like stale smoke or cigarettes.

All these point out to Anemia or Iron Deficiency Anemia

I would suggest you to consult your family doctor and do the following tests
1. Hb %
2. PCV
3. RBC Count
4. Peripheral Smear

Anemia is easily treatable and is a curable condition

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.
