Don't know if this is the right board for this so feel free to move if it is not. I have had odd symptoms lately and was just wondering if anyone has experience/advice on them?

I have hhad the following: feeling faint on standing up, extremely increased heartrate (increased by over 45 BPM). I know that because of a cool little app. I've also had extreme dizziness and a tight chest. I really would appreciate some advice on these as they're really starting to worry me!I

The faint feeling on standing is usually caused by a drop in blood pressure but there are many things that can cause it. Is your heart rate increased all the time or only after/during the dizziness/faintness? Have you ever been anaemic?

I've been tested for anaemia in the past but it came back negative, I've been more concerned about it now though.

Oh and it's not always increased. It's in normal range when sitting or lying down.

Have a look at POTS Syndrome

I've heard of POTS.
