Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
Palpitations and dizziness can be caused by many disturbed in the body functions. As you say the heart has been excluded as a cause. And also since the CBC is normal, anemia can also be excluded. I recommend you to check your thyroid function tests. Thyroid abnormalities can cause symptoms like palpitations and occasional light headedness which you may term as dizziness. Also please check your vit D and vit B 12 levels which also can cause dizziness, fatigue. An X ray of cervical spine is suggested. In cervical spondylosis, the nerve is entrappee between the vertebrae, which again can cause dizziness,. numbness in face and neck. Please do the above and revert.
Wishing you good health
Regards
