What Causes Dizzy Spells Upon Bending Down Along With Rapid Heart Rate?

This just happened to me now and has happened in the past. I was bending over and as I stood up I felt faint and dizzy . I held on to the door for a few seconds until it passed te=hen my heart started racing REALLY fast. I felt woozy as well. It s been about 10 min. and my heart is still beating fast, chest hurts even though I ve been sitting. I m 60 years old, non-smoker my whole life, and in reasonably good health.
