Brief Answer:
Take ORS

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

It seems that you have gastroenteritis. This is responsible for both your hunger pangs as well as diarrhoea. The resultant fluid loss has made you feel dizzy (vertigo). You need to take ORS (Oral rehydration solution) and plenty of fluids to drink. Also take omeprazole once daily. Take small but frequent meals. Be patient. It may take a day or two to resolve.
