Hello,
It is possible in fluid loss or electrolyte loss or weakness may also present like this. Same time you have to be checked for cardiac problems like ischemic heart disease or myocarditis etc. Drink plenty of liquids, check your serum electrolytes status. Take rest. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
