I would call your Dr and definately get your glucose tested! I get really dizzy and nauseous from metformin if I dont eat a little something every few hours!
Also- do you drink a lot of water? You could be dehydrated as well!

Since metformin is also a leading drug given to diabetics.... It is ment to lower blood glueclouse levels............... PLEASE go get your blood sugar checked, its a simple finger stick results in less them 30 seconds. If your light headed It could be your blood pressure, or blood sugar.
My guess would be the blood sugar. You can get a self machine for home use, or go to the health dept, they can test both ... or the dr. office, Some pharmacies will run these for you as well.
Metformin – Side Effects
Many women prescribed Metformin must discontinue its use due to the gastrointestinal side effects. The most commonly reported adverse effects include diarrhea, gas and bloating, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting (1, 6). Another consideration of Metformin therapy is its effect on B12 absorption. Ten - 30% of people receiving long term Metformin therapy develop B12 malabsorption, which could potentially lead to anemia.
It has also been shown that treatment with Metformin may increase homocysteine levels (amino acids found in the blood), which is a risk factor for atherosclerosis or fatty deposits in blood vessels (7).
The contraindications in using Metformin include liver failure, alcoholism, compromised renal function, hypoxic conditions and moderate to severe infections. These conditions predispose women to having lactic acidosis, which is a life-threatening complication and carries a mortality rate of 30% - 50% (1).

Insulite Laboratories’ view on the pharmaceutical treatment of PCOS – including Metformin - is that there is no one drug on the market that will change your condition. The only way to reverse the disorder is to reduce elevations in insulin which directly affect testosterone and other hormonal changes that are responsible for causing PCOS. Metformin can impact weight loss, infertility, acne and other PCOS-related symptoms however, the results are variable. There are also many negative side effects with the treatment of Metformin that can impact your health.
