Brief Answer:
Dizziness is due to low oxygen pressure at 9000 feet.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Dizziness at height of 9000 feet above sea level can be due to low oxygen pressure.
Dizziness is probably not associated with autoimmune disease or Raynaud's disease.

Thanks and take care
