Dizzy Trying Power Cleans

I've been sticking with the Stronglift lifts since April but looking to add power cleans to the mix. I've been trying to get the form down with just the bar so far and trying to make the lift as explosive as possible (or at least as explosive as the bar will let me). I've never experienced this with other lifts but I am finding (and this has happened on three occasions) that once I have completed the PC and brought the bar down to my thighs, I tend to get a bit dizzy. Making sure I am looking straight ahead all the time seems to help but I am a bit perturbed to say the least. I wonder if it is a function of rapidly changing blood pressure as a consequence of the explosive nature of the lift.
1) Has anybody else experienced dizziness when attempting power cleans?
2) If so, have you figured out a way to stop the dizziness?
3) Do you think this is something that I should "worry" about - i.e. see a doc because this may be a symptom of something else.
I repeat, all the other lifts during a given workout give me no issues.
Thanks.
