annoying heart rate

[beaurline]

My heart rate is high when i first get up in the morning, about 90-1in the 100's; it is high when i stand and makes me a little lightheaded somtimes, or when bending over, i feel it often-palpitations and i'm wondering if it's anxiety, anemia or other vitamin deficieny or hypoglycemia.

You might try checking your blood pressure/heart rate laying down, then sitting and standing.  If you notice that your heart rate increases by 30 bpm or more from laying down to standing this could be indicative of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.  POTS is a form of dysautonomia.  This can cause symptoms of being lightheaded or even passing out.  It can also cause many other symptoms including palpitations.

my heart rate was around the same and it turned out that the right side of my heart was not pumping correctly.

However when they fixed the problem with medication it was still 90 so they upped my meds and brought it down to 60.

Go to you GP and tell them that your are getting faint etc and ask them if they can try you on a mild beta blocker to slow things down.
