What May Have Led To Dilated Eyes And Shortness Of Breath For A Few Moments?

my girlfriend is 33, 5'3" and 120 lbs. she reached into the shopping cart and said "ow, I pulled a muscle" and not ten seconds later passed out. but her eyes were open and dilated and she stopped breathing and rigid. she turned bright red and her tongue came out. after a minute she made a loud gasp and came to like nothing happened but she looked like a corpse for a few minutes. what happened?
