Irregular heart beat: See your primary care doctor for a physical and an ekg. There's not enough information to tell you anything but that you're not getting enough blood to your brain when this happens.

Many possibilities: In your age group primary cardiac disorders that affect heart rhythm do occur. However start your evaluation with your regular doc for history, exam, and blood tests. You may have low thyroid as a contributor which is easily diagnosed and treated. Be well.
