What Does The Feeling Of Pressure In The Head Indicate?

Hello. I am a 50 year old female and had an episode the other day in which I felt a lot of pressure in my head, a bit of lightheadedness, and a very strong heartbeat. My heartbeat wasn t any more rapid than usual. I had just gotten into a hot car. What could it be?
