What Causes Weakness And Swelling In Tongue While Doing Zumba?

I am a 45 year old female and love Zumba. Recently I had an episode, 25 minutes into the workout, I became weak and my tongue began to swell and felt very faint. I had to sit and cool off, it finally passed. I have been doing Zumba for 2 years and this will be the second time that this has occured. Can you tell me why this is happening?
