Hypoglycemia: This may represent hypoglycemia, which is a medical term that literally means low blood sugar. It can occur due to a variety of conditions though is most often seen within individuals with diabetes. Blood sugar testing during symptoms or glucose tolerance testing can be performed to help determine whether low blood sugar might account for symptoms. Would recommend seeing your doctor to discuss.
