I don't breathe shallow or rapidly..and don't gasp for air...but i have white-outs and feel like brain/body isn't getting oxygen. what can cause this?

Tough to say: Without examining you fully and getting tests done, it is tough to say. You need to see a dr. For an eval as several issues including many metabolic issues (example: high or low blood sugar), neurological (example: seizure d/o), cardiac (example: arrhythmias, etc), are all possible...Best to get an eval. Good luck!
