Is this normal?

in 1st Trimester
I work at an after school program with kids, and today I took them into the computer lab. The air conditioner was off and the computers were on, so it was really hot. I ended up feeling like I was going to pass out, and my heart starting beating really fast. I've never experienced anything like that before.
Is this normal or should I talk to my doctor about it?

    It sounds like you just had a little heat exhaustion. Next time you're in that room with them, open a window, and slowly sip on some really cold water. 

    I work with a high school marching band teaching the color guard (girls with flags) and they practice so much in the heat that i have girls passing out left and right all the time because they're not drinking water!

    Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was a symptom of pregnancy or something.
    I can turn the air down when I'm in there, it just takes a little while for it to kick in. Next time I'll definitely bring water though. That's a good suggestion:)

    I know this has nothing to do with the main post, but flags represent!

    This happened to me one time during my last pregnancy while I was driving and scared the crap out of me!  I ended up pulling over, drinking a lot of water, and just waiting until I felt normal again.  I told my Dr. about it and she said that is a normal thing during pregnancy, a lot of women say it happens in the shower and they see stars. She explained what caused it, but I forget now.

    This has actually happened to me before I got pregnant too. Sometimes heat, stress, dehydration, pain, etc can do that to you. Like some other ladies said; trying to cool down, drinking a lot of liquids, and sitting down helps a lot!

    (And yay!!! More flag girls!!! I don't think I've met any others since high school! lol)

    Yay for Colorguard! How long did you all march? I marched 6 seasons Marching Band, 6 years Winterguard, and 3 Summers in DCI. =) I finally retired myself at 19 from marching. (I started guard when I was 10) and I only teach now.
