Need some help

The other day, I had to play the Romanza from Poulenc Sonata.

Everything was okay, excellent pianist, lovely auditorium, perfect reed (it happends sometimes), a fine clarinet and that music that I love so much.

I don't know why, somewhere between n�2 et 3, at the end of the long phrase beginning with the second scale, I felt that something happend in my body.

I could not read the score any longer and I felt that I was ready to fall down into unconsciousness...

I don't remember what happend exactly. People told me that I became white as snow and my lips were blue.

Unable to play again, even on a seat, the performance was over for me.
I'm not sure I suffered of lack of glucose or if it is a sort of "vagal" faint.

Now, I am really disappointed and over all, I am afraid to play again in such a situation.

Does anybody else had the same uneasiness and can help me to find again self confidence?

Thanks
