is lightheadedness normal?

I'm feeling this right now and have been for about 1/2 hour. I was extremely hot today and tonight, could this be why? What should I do? Just drink a lot and maybe lie down? It's not horrible, I just keep getting flashes of lightheadedness. I've defninitely eaten enough, so it's not that.

    I went into L&D earlier in the week for lightheadedness and the feeling like I was going to pass out.

    They told me that it's pretty common. In my case it was a mix of low hemoglobin and low BP.

    try resting, drinking water and taking it easy. But yes its common, at least for me. Theres so much blood pumping through you right now.

    It can be normal.  It can also be dehydration, lack of salt (drink Gatorade) or even a low blood sugar (you might need to eat something if you haven't had anything in the last hour).
