Syncope: It's quite possible that the factors you mention caused you to faint. If it was truly a simple faint, which witnesses could attest to, and there were no complications afterwards, I think you could sit tight. However if you note recurrent lightheadedness or prefainting warnings, you should see your physician for evaluation.
