Eyes flashing to heartbeat

Ok so my blood is low, I'm slightly anemic and I was playing a dancing game with my daughter and I over exerted so when I was walking away to sit down my heart was beating so hard and I was breathing so fast and heavy and with every heartbeat my eyes went dark and I felt like I was going to pass out and I couldn't catch my breath.
Any ideas what that was or why it happened!  I am more concerned about my eyes reacting like that to my heartbeat!
Thanks xoxo

You need to get checked out.  This could be atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat).

Saw the dr and told her about the incident and it's because I am extremely anemic and dehydrated and need a blood transfusion:(. I'm holding off because I hate blood transfusions...  I am hoping I can get away without having one, but iron supplements make me really sick!  But will end up having a blood transfusion:(

if your blood pressure drops too low, it can restrict the amount of blood flowing to your brain and other vital organs, which can cause fainting or dizziness and lightheadedness.  this is why your eyes went all black.
