lightheaded or dizzy?

I am 25 y.o. female and often have the feeling of lightheadedness, no the room isnt spinning, just kinda a little  faint... dont know what is causing this.  No I dont use any artificial sweeteners, or anything containing aspartame.  I have asked questions before on this board and seem to get a "variety" of answers.  I dont know if I have a heart condition or not, I used to have palpitations and am going for a treadmill test Friday to find out if there is any permanent damage to my heart.  I dont know if the heart can be related to lightheadedness or not.  Any suggestions about what is causing this.

Have you had your iron checked? Low potassium could be another cause, and would also explain the heart palpitations.

Well my treadmill test came back okay today, doc said that it could be my "sinus infection" causing my lightheadedness put me on amoxicillin and wait and see if it gets any better.  Soooo.  I will know here in a few days

Hello I have the same kind of dizziness. On both sides of my head sometimes I feel like there are pins and needles going in to my skin.  I have high blood pressure but it is not always high when I have the lightheadness.
I also feel like there is a heaviness in my head like having on a tight cap. Any suggestions?
