Recent onset of orthostatic hypotension and shortness of breath on exertion. i don't smoke, within my bmi and i'm very physically active.

See your doctor: Hypotension and dyspnea on exertion can occur with moderate/severe anemia. You need a complete blood count to check your hemoglobuin and make sure that you don't have anything serious going on.
