A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vasovagal: Many people, especially young ones, get a vasovagal reflex (dizziness, sweating, fainting, etc) with certain procedures. Although this can be very frightening, it is not dangerous and may not recur. Staying hydrated, having a light snack before a procedure, and laying down during the procedure, should further reduce the chance of experiencing this again.
