Probably & yes: Before you get lightheaded, dizzy, and start falling out (/over/down/etc.), yes, see a dr--gyn / urgent care or er so they can check your blood (hemoglobin) level and be sure you are not bleeding excessively rather than just longer than usual.

Lots of options: You will need to see your obgyn for an exam and testing. Depending on your age and fertility plans there are lots of treatment options. Birth control pills can regulate your cycle. Mirena (levonorgestrel) iuds can minimize your periods. Lysteda is a great new hormone free drug used to stop heavy periods.
