Dear friend, welcome and thanks for entrusting your query here at Healthcaremagic!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.

A bad kidney infection with klebsiella and sepsis can cause this.
A low diastolic BP or anaemia can cause dizziness, tachycardia and fatigue. Lingering infection can cause these.
Do you have any fever, vomiting?
What are your latest reports like?
Were you declared clear of infection?
There are many differentials.

If you can load more information in a direct query to me at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole

Remedy depends on the underlying cause.
