Just happened to wander in and Jane, I'm worried about you, too. Really, do as Choco says and get to someone to have your bloodwork done. It sounds like hypoglycemic attacks to me, too.
I've had hypoglycemic attacks (usually from purging) in the past and they're very scary and very dangerous. I used to drink some orange juice or eat a few handfuls of jelly beans or licorice until it subsided.
Please get checked, sweetie!
