What Causes Irregular Menstrual Bleeding Along With Dizziness And High Pulse Rate?

Hi, I m 18 years old extremely athletic and in shape and have no history of medical problems until now. I started my period this past July (very late compared to the average teen) and at the beginning it was very inconsistent and light, practically non existent. Then it stopped for a few months, then came back still inconsistent and without any kind of time frame to go off of. It then stopped again for a couple of months and now it has come back and I have been bleeding excessively for the past 3 days without stopping. I am going through a box of super plus tampons and maxi pads every day (not exaggerating at all, I bleed through each time) and I ve lost so much blood that I can t even stand up without blacking out, feeling weak, and my pulse quickening to an alarming rate. I tried standing and seeing if it would go away and it stayed until I sat down. I have been drinking a ton of water and eating things that are rich in iron and nothing has helped. I have no idea what s going and I would really appreciate a medical opinion. I m getting worse by the hour and I don t know what to do.

HI
Well come to HC
I really appreciate your concern, when it is starting of menses first time or started to have it since few months so in some female it may be little trouble some and that is due to hormone imbalance or not having right amount of hormone, in other word it is lime setting up the thing, fir better result, but this is nothing to worry, because this would be fine as the time pass out, and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
