Brief Answer:
It could be a transient ischaemic episode

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
The episode you have mentioned could be due to many reasons .
If you are diabetic or have overstrained yourself without eating please check your blood sugar levels and eat a quick snack if levels are below 80mg/dl.
It can happen due to sudden drop in blood pressure also .
The most important and the first thing to be ruled out is an ischaemic episode. Please get a CT of the brain done immediately.
Don't stay alone,as if now make sure you are with some one and try to lie down as much as possible for today
Best wishes
