What Causes Lightheadedness With Pulsing On The Veins Of The Forehead?

Hi I m a 20 year old female. About 2-3 years ago I started getting very lightheaded and it s constant. Everything goes black my head feels like it s pounding but also shaking and my knees start popping like they are about to collapse on me. I have collapsed twice every other time I stand there. I can t hear everything that is going on and I can talk to you while it s happening. I am a smoker I usually smoke a half a pack or a full pack a day. After the lightheadedness I can feel the veins on my forehead and in my temples pulsing. Is this something serious should I be worried?
