Many times a treadmill stress test to see how your lood Pressure and heart rate respond to the physical stress. If it happens again, you may need even further testing that might include a "Tilt table test" and evaluation by an specialized cardiologist with a focus on checking the electrical pathways of your heart. You have done a great job with exercise and weight loss, but that doesn't totally discount the possibility of disease. You are wise to get this checked out. It is frustrating how often this happens and the actual cause remains unknown.
