I got dizzy, the world was spinning, what happened?

I came home from work, was sitting @ the computer checking email, waiting for it to be time to go to my support group meeting. Ate a handful of beef jerky (something I do every day with no problem.) Began to get VERY lightheaded. Headed toward my bedroom to change clothes, almost passed out. The world was spinning seemed like a hundred miles an hour. Got kind of scared. Hollered for my daughter to bring the glucose monitor and blood pressure machine. Blood sugar was 130, so not hypoglycemic. Blood pressure was only 96/65, pulse 57. Kept getting more and more dizzy till I finally threw up. She helped me change into pajamas and put a cold cloth on my forehead (what a GREAT kid!), and kept checking my BP. It went as low as 86/52, pulse 55. Fell asleep, woke up about 50 minutes later still somewhat dizzy but not as bad. Moved out to living room and BP was up to 102/71. WAS THIS A BIZARRE FORM OF DUMPING or do I need to call the Dr. tomorrow? NEVER had anything like this happen before. Didn't eat or do anything out of the ordinary today. I'm 4 months post op lap rny, down 67#, no other problems before. Help!
