What Causes Lightheadedness And Fainting?

I ve been fainting. About 5 times in the last few months. Everyday I feel lightheaded, I ve been taking iron pills, thinking it was just anemia and changing my diet. I noticed the fainting spells occur mostly in public places making me think it s anxiety. I started documenting everything and realize I always feel better after a bowel movement. I even bought a blood pressure machine and check it multiple times a day. It s always normal. What is wrong with me?
