Valsalva-like : Your actions raise intrathoracic pressure affecting coronary artery flow briefly, and causes feedback vasovagal mechanisms resulting in your faintness. You could be more sensitive, but there could be some underlying cardiac or pulmonary issues that are starting to present. So, to be on the safe side, have your doctor evaluate your current health status.
