Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma’am

After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that the symptoms which are experiencing require evaluation as there could be different reasons for these episodes which includes

1. Hypoglycaemia
2. TIA
3. Aortic stenosis
4. Transient cardiac arrhythmia

So it’s highly advisable that you should personally consult your doctor as few test like Echocardiography, routine blood evaluation, Holter monitoring, HBA1c will be required to understand the underlying cause of this issue.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu partap
