Anemia : Your symptoms could be from irin deficiency anemia from bleeding from somewhere which includes menstruation. No potassium is not explainable , are you having severe diarrhea or are you taking water pills.

Needs evaluation: The present history does not offer enough information for a specific diagnosis. You should see your primary care doctor and have a thorough evaluation. I believe a referral to a specialist may follow.

Low potassium: Is the clue. Dizziness, rapid heart and palpitations are because of chaotic state of autonomic (automatic) nervous system. Most likely cause is sugar, causing vitamin b1 deficiency. See my blog "oxygen the spark of life".
