I had Sculpsure yesterday on my abdomen and couldn't finish the 25 min cycle. I was on the verge of fainting. Is this normal?

I started sweating profusely, felt nauseous, and extremely lightheaded like I was going to pass out. I was very calm and not nervous but had this autonomic response. I did NOT feel my heart rate accelerating as in normal anxiety attack. I was experiencing some pain near my belly button but it was not excruciating. The other reactions were more alarming. Is this normal?
