Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern & I would like to tell you that common cause of palpitations can be stress or anxiety, nutritional deficiency and dehydration, but fainting along can be indicating either to nutritional deficiency or orthostatic hypotension. Kindly consult a physician personally for proper physical and diagnostic evaluation. If you are in stress then you can consult a Psychologist as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap

Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a panic disorder. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a specialist of the field (psychiatrist, psychotherapist) to help improve your situation.
I would also recommend checking thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction. In the meantime, I recommend practicing Yoga and recreational sports.
