General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Episode of single incidence can be nonspecific, but if persistent and repeatedly happening every time during the same procedure, then cerebrovascular insufficiency should be worked out with MRI brain.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
