Hot flash, nausea, light headed--what caused it?

Anyone have any insight on what just happened to me?  It hasn't happened before, so if it becomes a regular thing, I will definitely call, and I will mention it to my MW on Friday, but since it was just one time I don't want to overreact.

So I was sitting at my desk.  All of a sudden, I just got hit with a wave of nausea and lots of little burps.  I pulled the trash can over, but thankfully did not need to use it.  Then, I got hit with a massive hot flash--I just felt like my face was burning up and my arms were clammy.  I was also lightheaded and a bit dizzy.  This lasted maybe 3-5 minutes (although it felt like a lot longer) and then my temperature went back to normal and the nausea passed. 

I was finally able to move to sit on the floor with my head on the chair for about 20 minutes until the dizziness/light-headedness passed.

My blood pressure has always been fine.  I have had plenty to eat and drink today.

Any ideas?

    It almost sounds like a panic attack. Were you stressed out about something?

    This happened to be yesterday. I consulted Dr. Google (so take this with a grain of salt) and it said it could either be a blood pressure drop or the baby could have moved onto something, blocking blood flow. I'm going to mention it to my Dr. at my app

    This has happened to me a couple times and after having a bowel movement I started feeling better. I'm not sure if it might be the same thing with you. Also, drink lots of water.

    I agree with the others that it sounds like a drop in BP.  I get it every once in awhile.

    I haven't had a ton of water today, but I have had a 20 oz iced tea plus some water this morning. 

     My BP had been pretty low, but the past 2 appointments was back to "normal" (for me which is about 115/70). 

    Now that I

    Low blood pressure or low blood sugar I would say. Both have similar feelings.

    This happened to me one morning, I got up like usual and was cleaning the kitchen and all of a sudden a huge wave of heat hit me and I felt like I was about to get sick, paired with being completely dizzy. I stood over the sink, and just felt like I was g
