Hello Maam
After going through the medical details provided by you i would like to tell you that at your age group there are few important things that could have caused these symptoms.
1. Low sugar levels
2. Low blood pressure
3. Any valvular pathology of heart
4. Cardiac rhythm abnormality
5. Cervical Spondylosis
To find out the underlying cause some important tests need to be done
1. HBa1C
2. Blood pressure monitoring
3. Echocardiography

5. X Ray Cervical Spine
I hope this information will be helpful.
