What Causes Dizziness And Shortness Of Breath?

This morning upon waking I had extreme dizziness upon opening my eyes. I closed my eyes continued to rest for a few minutes and it went away. While washing my face and leaning over the sink I felt the extreme dizziness again like I was going to faint. It passed after I sat a few minutes. Again, bending over to pickup an object on the floor 10 minutes after the first dizziness, I got extremely dizziness with shortness of breath. I took Drammine but the dizziness continue getting extremely worst. My blood pressure was 140 over 82, my breathing was high. My husband put an ice pack on my neck and it helped. My normal blood pressure is usually 120 range over 66 - 72. The dizziness with some tingling in my toes and hands continued for about 30 minutes. I thought by this time the Drammine kicked in. I m not having the symptoms now but feel light headed.
