Hello,
It looks like you need to put on a little weight. You are not having adequate rest (sleep), avoid mental/emotional stress & anxiety. Cut on addictions if any (alcohol / caffeine / smoking). Take break from work at times, don't push yourself too hard. Take time to relax. Stay well fed & well hydrated. Dizziness & headache occur commonly due to hypoglycemia, dehydration, low iron(anemia) skipping meals or blood pressure issues. Get a general health check up done to rule out vertigo, CAD or ay other disease. Middle ear problem also causes dizziness. Get clinically examined by an ENT to rule out Vertigo. If vertigo is detected you may need an audiometry test done. You will be treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
