Hi welcome to HCM.
Orthostatic hypotension seems to be most likely possibility in your case.This can result in symptoms like dizziness and palpitations.Adequate hydration helps to maintain the cardiac output.Drugs like midodrine and fludrocortisone will help to control the symptoms.Screening 2 dimensional echo can help to help to rule out organic heart lesions.Consult your cardiologist for further care.
Thank you
