If you can, check your blood pressure. Lots of factors can cause this: Dehydration, lack of food or fluids,,, side effects of any medications you may be on. You can be anemic (low blood count) too if you have heavy periods. You will need to see your doctor and get your bp checked and he may run some basic tests (CBC) if needed for starters.
