Could be due to sudden drop in blood sugar levels.

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
It is hard to comment defintively but a number of things are possible. I would need to ask you if you are diabetic. Sudden drop in blood sugar levels could precipitate such a presentation. It could also be due to a sudden fluctuation in blood pressure.
If it is not bothering you now, I would not insist you to worry about it. Remain observant and if it recurs, it would be a good idea to visit a doctor and to get yourself evaluated.
