Can Accidental Ankle Twisting Lead To Sprain Or Fracture?

Today I was running outside and twisted my ankle outwardly. I immediately felt nauseous and turned pale and my vision went fuzzy. However, after I sat down for a few minutes, everything cleared up and I felt fine. Now, after resting and icing and elevating my ankle, there isn t any pain (maybe a little throb when I try to twist my ankle the same way I fell). I can walk and run normally. Do you think this is a sprain or a fracture?

it does not seem like a fracture but it may be a mild ankle sprain that needs only compression and some strengthening exercises .
