Lifestyle changes could help to eliminate/reduce the episodes. I would step up your efforts in this area first and book a cardiologist appointment to discuss in 6 months time.

You don't say how long your episodes have been and what drugs you are on. You may need to have a discussion on taking anti-coagulants.

HR & slight dizziness on standing is similar to me for years and no probs experienced.
