Most likely a drop: in blood pressure was the immediate mechanism, however, yet the reasons why this may have occurred are many. Blood pressure is constantly being adjusted by our brain via adjusting venous tone, heart output (via rate & intensity of contraction) combined with "total peripheral resistance" (average degree of dilatation of our 20,000 our more end arteries called arterioles), water intake/output, etc.
