Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Heart Palpitations When On Effexor And Trazodone

I am experiencing slight dizziness which comes and go over the last two weeks and also seem to be experiencing heart palpatations, again off and on for several weeks. I don t particularly feel anxious about anything so not sure why this is happening. I am already on Effexor and Trazadone (for sleeping) and fine that these have dealt with issues I had in the past after losing my entire family. Was considering going off these meds but because of going through menopause decided to stay on for a little while longer.
