Sounds like you were about to faint, (pre-syncopal episode), and this may have been secondary to a number of causes. These include anemia, dehydration, hypoglycemia, medication reactions, drop in blood pressure, and many others. Contact your local physician and get this checked out. Suggest you avoid driving until this is clarified.
