Brief Answer:
Could be anxiety also.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Sorry for delay in response.
Yes, dehydration can cause lightheadedness which can cause your symptoms.
If your investigations were normal, I think another reason for your symptoms and raised heartbeat could be anxiety.

Has it happened in past? Does it happens repeatedly?

Thanks.
