Brief Answer:
you need to undergo cardiac check up
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Your episodes of black out with nausea may be due to any of following causes
1.You may have Low blood pressure due to either less blood supply to heart or weak heart function.This is likely as your symptoms are after mild exercise.I would like to know which investigations have been done for missed heart beats.Kindly attache the reports for my review.you should get resting ECG,Holter monitor,Echocardiogram and Exercise stress test(If feasible).If all these reprots are normal then we must consider other possibilities.
2.Transient decrease in blood supply to brain because of TIAs may be another possibility for which you need to go for MRI brain.
3.Presence of cervical spondylosis where a disc in your neck may compress the vertebral vessels and produce such symptoms.
I request you to give me feedback and I would be glad to guide you further.
My best wishes

I have been investigated for missing heart beat with heart xray, echoing and neck pulse scan. All ok. I also get very sweaty after vomiting. I don't exercise excessively as I have arthritis in the knees, sometimes just shopping brings it on. I have collapsed twice in cafes and been taken to hospital. I think my water drinking is ok especially since I've been watching it.
