Brief Answer:
Possible reactive hypoglycaemia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you probably may be suffering from reactive hypoglycaemia, when blood sugar levels go extremely low at least 4 hours after eating. Possibly too much insulin is produced especially after a carbohydrates based meal.
It happens mostly in diabetics which are treated with insulin or in cases when pancreas overproduces insulin like in pancreatic tumours.
I think you should get tested for diabetes doing fasting glucose levels, post prandial glucose levels and HbA1c.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
