Sudden heart rate increase when standing?!


Question: Sudden heart rate increase when standing!?
My pulse is usually around 70-80bpm while sitting!. However, upon standing my heart rate increases to around 110-120bpm!. (And remains this rate for at least 2 minutes)!. I usually end up feeling extremely lightheaded and even sometimes experience a "white flash" which obstructs my vision momentarily, but quickly fades!. (I usually have to hold on to something so I don't fall over)!.

However, even with a dramatic heart rate increase, my blood pressure remains steady!. (Ruling out orthostatic hypotension)!.

I'm only 18 years old and I am not overweight or obese!.
Does anyone have any ideas about what this could be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
