Hi,
I think when you are lightheaded it feels as if things are unreal, and you feel unsteady on your feet. Dizziness is when the room seems to sway or spin, like when you get off a roundabout.
Hope this helps.

Dizziness is lightheadedness, feeling like you might faint, being unsteady, loss of balance, or vertigo (a feeling that you or the room is spinning or moving).

People who say they feel 'dizzy' are usually referring to a sensation of turning round or whirling. Alternatively, dizziness may be used to describe a swaying sensation, or a feeling of weakness, faintness, light-headedness or unsteadiness. Occasionally, some individuals say they have blurred vision, feelings of unreality, faints, blackouts or even epileptic fits. All these are sometimes referred to as 'dizzy spells'.
