Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See, the first instance was probably because some vasovagal attack or dehydration and hypoxia. Whereas the second incidence is most probably due to postural hypotension. These are not very uncommon but as it has happened twice, I would suggest you to take a neurologist opinion. Also, have enough fluid and brisk exercise.
Hope this was useful.
Regards
