What Causes Irregular Vaginal Bleeding During Periods?

Hi I just turned 18 and my period s been acting weird. One day when I wiped I found a little bit of blood then the next day no blood the 3rd day which was yesterday i found a lot of blood so I put a pad and then later that night found nothing and when I woke up I still found nothing, the whole day today there was nothing until this evening there was a lot of blood. I also feel like my blood sugar level is low because every night I feel like eating something sugary or chocolate and I drink a lot of water after. Last time I got my period was January 22.what can that be?
