There are SO many causes for feeling lightheaded. Here are just a some of them:
Stress
Low/high blood pressure
Allergies
Alcohol (have you been drinking within the last 24 hours?)
Virus
Heart/circulatory disorders
I'd check with a doctor just to be on the safe side, to find out the exact cause and to get treatment if you need it.

You could be dehydrated. Try drinking water (not juice or milk or whatever), and see if that helps. It could be a health problem like anemia, but I wouldn't know because I'm not a doctor. I would see one if the water doesn't help. Also, did you get enough sleep today? if you didn't, that could be it.

It could be the start of an illness like the flu, or it could be a lack of blood supply and/or oxegyn to your brain. A lack of blood supply could be caused by a blockage in the arteries that lead to the brain, or an irregular heart beat. If you are on any medication, that could be the cause of it. If you have absolutely no other symptoms and are NOT on any medication, I would say that your heart is not pumping well enough to get an adequate blood supply to your brain, or there is a blockage of some type. BUT you are way to young to be experiencing any of these things. So if it continues, you need to see a doctor.
