Dizziness is a symptom of so many things. Combined with the fatigue it really could be any number of things. When I had my bleed, I had really bad dizzy spells with any form of exhertion. The reason was my hemoglobin levels were low (which carry the oxygen around the body. Not enough oxygen going around = dizzy). I was put on a tablet combining iron and folate and have improved dramatically. It is very common for women to be low in iron post-partum. Before you go adding anything else to your diet or taking supplements, I would go to the doctor and get a blood test to look at iron levels (and B12 and some other things to see if they can pinpoint the cause of the fatigue and dizziness). It will probably take 2-3 days for the results to come back.
In the meantime, keep up your fluids and eat a balanced diet. I hope you feel better soon!
