Brief Answer:
Most probably as a result of hypoglycemia

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for the reply.

There is high possibility that decreased blood sugar level has caused these symptoms. In normal individuals body maintains blood sugar level. If it decreases to a certain level then symptoms of hypoglycemia (decreased blood sugar) appears. I would suggest you to take rest for few days and take healthy balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables & legumes. If symptoms appear again then in that case I would suggest you to visit hospital and get you baseline investigations like blood sugar level, CBC & serum electrolytes to check if there is any metabolic abnormality.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
