You probably should have went to the ER to get checked out. Those symptoms most likely deal with your heart & blood pressure. Obviously you were exercising, so you could've pushed yourself too far. You should take a break from exercising until you go see a doctor. If you really want to exercise, maybe do light jogging or walk at a brisk pace. You should probably avoid weights for a few days, just until you know what happened. If you feel any worse, you should go to the ER though. Those symptoms are not ones you leave alone & not get checked out. It seems like you just over-did it.
