Symptoms you are describing are suggestive of presyncope. Consult your cardiologist and get following tests done...
24 hrs holder monitoring
2 d echo
Head up tilt test
BP in supine and standing pisition
And autonomic function testing if needed. Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
