This is a common scenario on the approach to the menopause and it can go on for some time before you periods finally stop for good. You are also in the age range of 45-55.
Blood tests are not particularly accurate and do depend on your hormonal balance on that day. Saliva tests are much more accurate but doctors don't usually off this as it is much more expensive!
Palpitations and dizziness are common too as falling oestrogen can affect blood pressure which can trigger these, however, there may be other causes so it is important to get them checked out by your doctor as well.
