What Causes Dizziness And Faster Heartbeat?

Hi, I am a healthy 20 y old female who has been getting dizzy walking up/down stairs, standing up or sitting down, and even just sitting here. My heart rate goes up alot when I do these things too. I drink enough water and eat enough food. What is wrong with me? (I also am very pale alot so it might be anemia...?)

Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem like diabetes or hypertension? any goiter or neck swelling? have you done your thyroid function tests? what is ur HB? what is ur heart rate?
If i am ur attending physician i will definitely get your FBC ECG and thyroid function tests. I will rule out the ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
first , before labeling any pathology .
Anemia does cause rise in heart rate but you need to be examined by your doctor for proper management.
Meanwhile stay calm
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
