Hypoglycemia?: Your blood sugar may drop too low. The only way to really know is to see a doctor for a blood glucose test. It's good to know and probably possible to correct fairly easily. Make an appointment and avoid unnecessary anxiety/panic. While there, ask about therapy for managing health anxiety/panic. It's a good thing!
