Hi Sian. This is an old thread. I would suggest you post what you've just posted above, in a new thread in this forum. :) Just click on 'new thread' at the top of this page.
Is the dizziness/ lightheadedness just when in/just out of showers/baths and when the weather is hot or is it a lot of the time? Also, is the water in your showers/baths really hot? Have you ever actually fainted when you've felt this way?
It could be that you're getting early symptoms of heat stroke. The heat causes a lot of your blood to be transferred towards your skin and away from your vital organs which can cause them to become a bit starved of oxygen. The best thing to do is not to have your water quite as hot. When you feel like this to slowly cool yourself down (doing it really quickly can also cause problems) and you will probably find lying down on the floor with your feet up helps. If this is the bathroom floor then maybe putting your feet on the lid of the toilet or the side of the bath. Make sure you keep drinking too as dehydration may also be a factor.
