hi.. im 17, 5'9, 122lbs, and a female
i'm extreemly active/atletic
recently i have been getting lightheaded really easily.. like when i work out really hard or when i just get up too fast in the mornings.. i'm thinking its my blood sugar.. but i am not sure
if you have any ideas on maybe what it is or what i need to eat to make it better than fill me in... it is just weird becasue i always have a ton of energy i just have been getting light headed.

If they think it is a sugar problem, they will have you take a glucose test. You will drink a sugary liquid at their office (generally on an empty stomach, but it just depends) and you will be asked to wait for 1 hour, consuming nothing but water, and when the time is up they will test your blood sugar.
So, sugar problems or not, you should see your doctor anyhow.
