Does Metformin Cause Dizziness And Appetite Loss?

My daughter has been prescribed metformin for hypoglycemia. Last night she woke up with chills and body aches but no fever. Today her neck hurts and she has no appetite. She feels full, dizzy and feels disconnected. Could this be from low blood sugars or the metformin?
