Hello....i understand your concern.
What you experienced in all probability was a vaso vagal attack. It can be brought on by prolonged periods of standing which causes pooling of blood in the lower limbs and subsequent symptom of dizziness and black outs.
Are you on blood pressure lowering medication?
If the symptoms are not too frequent i wpuld not particularly worry.
However, it is still advisable that you consult your doctor and get your blood pressure checked along with a baseline ekg.
I hope this helps...
