Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

You have symptoms of dizziness, pale face, hot flashes and symptoms of collapse. All investigations of brain and blood vessels came normal. These symptoms are occurring in episodes. As per my opinion such symptoms could be occurring due to underlying anxiety or panic attacks. In severe anxiety pale face, giddiness and symptoms of hot flashes are seen.
Other possibilities are syncope or postural hypotension. In postural hypotension due to sudden shift of blood to periphery individual may suffer symptoms of collapse and giddiness. Get your BP checked in lying down and standing position to rule out hypotension as cause of your symptoms.

As the symptoms occur in episode so anxiety is main provisional diagnosis. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for evaluation and management. Medicines like Clonazepam, Lorazepam which are short acting benzodiazepines can help to control the symptoms.
SSRIs are mainstay of treatment. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks
