Could Be: The symptoms are correct, but you would have to check your blood sugar to know for sure. Have you ever had a hemoglobin a1c drawn before, or done a fasting blood glucose test, or glucose challenge test? All good at determining if you have any blood glucose control issues. Your pcp would be your best avenue here. Lastly, if you ate something with simple sugars after your symptoms, did it help?

Possibly thyroid: I would tend to think more of a thyroid issue. I recommend you see you doctor to get your thyroid levels checked, and also glucose test while you're at it.
