Hello
These ( this ) symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Hypoglycemia i.e. decrease in blood glucose level.
2 Postural hypotension i.e. decrease in blood pressure level.
3 Viral infection .
4 Malaria i.e. if mosquito bite.
5 Anemia .
But as you mentioned that this is first time , so at present need not to worry .
If recurs then consult your physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
