Did the DR make any suggestions? You seriously could have just passed out from nerves that is why they tell you not to get up so fast after you've been sitting down during a stressful, or upsetting event. I would go see your regular family DR just to be sure.

A vasovagal reaction (also called vasovagal syncope) is sudden dizziness or fainting that can be triggered by pain, fright, or trauma. The person may sweat, feel lightheaded, nauseated, or tingly, and may pass out if the reaction continues.
A vasovagal reaction can happen without serious cause. However, vasovagal reactions may be caused by heart problems, epilepsy, or other conditions that require treatment.
A vasovagal reaction can usually be relieved by lying down with the legs elevated. However, treatment is necessary if a medical condition is causing the vasovagal reaction.

If this was your first time getting a Pap you probably was just nervous. Dont worry about it for now, but if it happens again any time and any where go see your dr asap.
