Brief Answer: Would suggest few tests to rule out heart problem Detailed Answer: Hello sir and welcome. Thank you for writing to us. Dizziness and a fainting spell can be due to various causes, and taking your age into consideration, a heart condition would be less likely, but of course cannot be ruled out. I hope you understand sir, that we will have to conduct a few simple investigations to be able to rule out a heart condition. If you do not mind, I would suggest you go about the following investigations: -ECK (EKG) -2D echocardiography (a scan of the heart) -Treadmill test (TMT): Is a stress test These 3 investigations should easily be able to rule out or diagnose any cardiac abnormality present sir. But I am sure all will be well. You may write back to me with the results or consult a doctor at the hospital you visit. I would be more than happy to help you, if you would need my assistance. I hope you find my response helpful sir. Best wishes.
