Hi Welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Rapid heart rate and Dizziness can be a definite feature of heart rhythm disturbances.Irregular heartbeat is known to alter the blood supply to the brain leading to impaired function in a transient way.Few drugs like beta blockers are certainly known to reduce the heart rate and accelerate the dizzy spells.I advise you to have a complete 24 hr holter ECG which can accurately determine the cardiac conduction abnormalities.Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.Drugs like Isoproterenol will help to increase the heart rate.Drugs like amiodarone can also help to minimise the rhythm irregularities.A 2 Dimensional echocardiography will help to assess the functional reserve of the heart ruling out organic heart lesions. Electrophysiological study and Radiofrequency ablation will also help to eliminate abnormal foci of rhythm.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
