hello,
Firstly i would like to know your age and any other medical history you have.If no other medical history such symptoms can occur commonly either due to migraine or postural hypotension- that is change in your blood pressure with change in position. From the little information you have provided,I would say it could be a begining of migraine. Would suggest you to undergo some basic tests like B.P, HB% and also to consult a physician.It is probably nothing to worry about.It mostly would have been a 1 time episode but not to neglect it kindly go in for a routine check up. take care
