Hello whenever i play basketball or sports i suddenly begin to feel extremely weak and shaky. after i sit down and drink something for 5 minutes it goes away and then seems to be better.normal echo, bloodwork, work up. could it be dehydration related?

If it has not been done you need to have a complete EXERCISE cardio-pulmonary test. Dehydration does not behave that way and it should not occur every time you play sport. If you also feel shortness of breath at the same time then exercise induced asthma should be included in the different diagnosis. Take care.
