Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic. Thank you for posting your query. I understand your concern.
By your history and symptoms i think that, your dizziness and black outs could be due to Low blood pressure or low blood sugars. It would have been helpful if you had mentioned about your past history of diabetes / hypertension / any head injuries.
Consider getting an ECG, Echo, routine blood tests to rule out other possibilities. It would also be good if you can get an MRI of your Brain done. Consult a physician with the reports who will be able to comment on them and advice you appropriately. Keep checking your blood pressure at least twice a week at different time periods.
Hope this answers your query and do write back to us if you require further assistance.
Wish you good health.
