Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This can be a cardiac arrhythmia like psvt or atrial fibrillation, in which heart rate suddenly goes up and also suddenly decreases. Blood pressure falls during these episodes and one has dizziness, fainting, blackouts, sometimes syncope. Usually ECG is normal as it is usually done in between the episodes. ECG done during episodes will show abnormality. You will need 24 hour holter monitoring. So visit nearby cardiologist for these investigation. Is there any stress or anxiety associated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
