Since around 3 oclock, I've been dizzy whenever I stand up.

I've had plenty to eat, so it's not that.

Have you been drinking enough water?

Caffeinated drinks don't count, as they dehydrate you. Also, depending what your noodle dish was, especially if Asian, could add to the problems. Juice and water, and move slowing when going sit to stand, don't move until your head clears.

Read JAMA as there is evidence, and working with RN's who work with people more medically fragile than you is probably generally good advice. Caffeienated drinks don't count for fluid intake, is simple physiology, period, as caffiene will diuerese your volume. That is a fact. General fluid intake can be based on weight, ie if you weigh 120, you should drink 60oz, or your urine should be a color lighter than apple juice by noon. Medical diagnoses, and comorbidities, exercise intensity, can influence what you drink. You are probably a healthy adult, and what you described above, I suspect doesn't meet the minimum requirement.

You will not find any difinitive answer as to X is the amount everybody should drink, because it varies with size, activity, etc, and frankly different experts vary with their opinions, as in any field. You can find any 1 research article to support any one side. It would take much longer than the time you spent to fully research that answer. Since I do not sit in front of a computer all day, I cannot direct you to a specific article, but I have read them and it is common medical practice. Also, the fact you are dizzy every time you stand up-*IS* an indication you may have volume depletion, and could be verified by taking postural vitals. Stress doesn't help, but honestly, if you are having that kind of symptom, it might be a hint you are not getting enough water, no matter what is recommended.

Stress can produce a large variety of weird symptoms. Once when I was in the sixth grade, and freaked out about being in a spelling bee, my lower lip swelled to immense proportions. Totally freaky and there was no explaination other than stress.

how's your blood pressure?

My blood pressure is apparently low, because doctors always ask me if I get dizzy when I stand up.
Caffeine is supposed to raise your blood pressure, maybe you need another coffee :)

Ya know, some teenagers pay good money to feel like that!

But seriously, a little extra water and rest might help. If not, then see your doctor.
