Has anyone else fainted from an extreme bout of anger?

I had something crazy happen yesterday. I went for an early morning walk and got into it with a neighbor. Long story. This made me angry really quickly and within 25 seconds I got really lightheaded and I woke up face down on the ground with a gash in my head and my face and hands all cut up. I don’t know how long I was out for, but I passed out as I was standing up, walking away from the situation and I regained consciousness on the ground. I have been fasting for about 36 hours because of stress, I had only been awake for about 20 minutes or so, and this crazy situation with my neighbor made me go from normal to extreme anger in an instant. Within 25 seconds of the situation starting, I fainted. When I woke, I thought I was waking up in my bed and then I realized I was on the ground outside. It was so weird. At first, I thought the person I was arguing with knocked me out, but then I realized that I just fainted and fell down. I was able to get up and walk away immediately and felt fine after. I don’t feel like I had a concussion. I went and got a CT scan and luckily they said everything was fine. No fractured skull and no brain bleeding. I had to get stitches in my head though. All day the next day I felt relatively fine. It’s a day later now and I don’t have any bad headaches or anything other than a bit of sharp pain from where the stitches are. so I think my head is fine. I’m just shocked that I fainted while standing up because of a bout of anger. When the argument got heated, I could feel like adrenaline kicking in and I felt like I had to get away from the situation fast because I could feel this lightheadedness feeling starting from deep inside my chest and stomach. It reminded me of one time when I worked out hard before eating breakfast and I had to sit down in the weight room for about 30 minutes cause I felt like I would pass out if I stood up. I’m a relatively healthy 37-year-old male. I’m guessing this was a result of having low blood sugar and low blood pressure from fasting and having just woke up. I’m curious if this has ever happened to anyone else before??????????
