Brief Answer:
Most likely a Vasovagal syncope.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. The problem of dizziness and fainting occurred for you is most likely vasovagal syncope. One can be more prone to this when you have not taken food before the procedure also. This is a benign condition and normal. There is nothing to worry. If this recur then you should get an ECG to rule out any cardiac problems.
And if hyalgan was given for first time then possibility of allergy to it also should be ruled out.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
