Has anyone else heard this, or experienced anything like this themselves?

I'm not asking for medical advice, just curious what everyone else out there has experienced.

I'll be getting to see a doc soon, as I have been experiencing some strange symptoms lately. If I don't eat enough during the day, I find that I'll have an episode where I'm a little dizzy/panicky/shaky until I eat a meal or consume food with high contents of sugar.





I have also found that I can no longer tolerate caffeine too well, it seems to put me into the same state as described above.

Whatever the cause, and after I see a doc, I hope that my body will return back to normal within a reasonable time.
