If you tend to hold your breath and strain when this happens, it could very well be a vagal response.
The vagal response arised from the effects of stimulation of the vagus nerve. (The vagus nerve is the 10th of 12 cranial nerves, originates in the brain stem and goes into the abdomen.) The response includes a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, a feeling of light- headedness (from the decreased blood pressure), and nausea.
Vagal responses are caused by many things. They include suddenly getting up, pain, fear, excitement, immersion of the head in cold water, or stimulation of the coratid artery in the neck. Even straining to go to the bathroom can cause the effect in some people.

You should stop doing it right away and see a doctor if you did it before without these symptoms.

I think its terminal D.A. but needs to be checked.
