A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart rates: Rapid resting heart rates in a young, athletic female raise the question of overactive thyroid,anemia or iron deficiency. The latter 2 result from heavy menstrual periods. Lightheadedness can occur with low or high blood pressure. Your physician can check your sitting and standing blood pressure and perform a cardiac examination and also order appropriate tests in order to explain your symptoms.
