Not only I have felt like, I have! Several times, there was a year when I was dieting I had the paramedics like once a month in my house, I even used to sleep dressed, just in case someone had to drive me to the hospital if I didn't waked up alone (I normally fainted during mornings).

Test your sugar blood, test your insulin levels, ask for pre and postpandriall test, ask for the sugar/insulin curve test, if results are good, repeat them, if possible buy a glucose meter, it took me many tests and many years to get real results, but I bought a glucose meter and learned myself what the labs weren't telling me and that's how I could share with my doctors more realistic information (despite they are not 100% accurate) but I was taking the blood example when I was feeling the symptoms and not when I had an order to go to a lab to test my blood.

 

I actually have fainted from skipping breakfast. I don't do that anymore.

 

I passed out once after a workout. I hadn't eaten all day and did some weights. Then I decided to do cardio on the treadmill. Bad plan. When I started feeling woozy I went out into the hall to get a soda - but I didn't have change and my bills were too wrinkled to be taken by the vending machine. So I just went outside into the cool air and passed out on a bench. It didn't last long - I came to in a few minutes.

 

Most likely it is low blood sugar. You should buy a pack of glucose tablets and carry them around with you. If you start feeling like that you should take some immediately.

The thing about it is that if you start feeling like you're going to faint, you probably ARE going to faint relatively soon. Our bodies warn us about such things but they usually don't give us a lot of time. You would be surprised how fast you can faint. And if it's low blood sugar one of the problems that goes along with it is deep confusion so you have to act fast or you will have trouble doing the simplest thing like opening a bottle.

 

You might be hypoglycemic, my step mom is and fainted at work after skipping her lunch. I know another girl who is too.

I don't feel faint but I get really nauseous if I don't eat, I actually start gagging and heaving if I go too long without eating.

edit: I guess feeling nauseous is just another sign of hypoglycemia.

 

I only eat once a day so yes I feel dizzy when hungry, but your body gets used to it. When I am really hungry I feel sharper and lighter. Great way to stay in shape!

 

I'm a ex-competitive swimmer and had an interesting experience with getting dizzy/nearly fainting, which correlated to low blood sugar. Carbs are a form of sugar. One time I was swimming up to 4 miles on a nearly daily basis while on a low carb diet, and -boom!- after workouts I'd feel dizzy. I found that eating more carbs (bread, etc) quickly took care of the problem and it never came back.

So if you're not diabetic and you're on a low carb diet, increasing your intake of carbs (particularly complex carbs) can do wonders.

The other thing that can also cause dizziness/nearly fainting is low blood pressure. So you could check that too.

 

Correction to 2nd sentence above, since I made a small typo (am tired right now) and can't edit:

Sugar is a form of carb (not the other way around)

 

For some reason, I don't really feel hunger much nowadays.

I will feel really stressed and anxious, then I will remember that I forgot to eat. I don't feel like fainting though.

 

I get angry and nauseous. It feels like I could die, but I never actually fainted from it. I fainted from other stuff though.

 

No. Sometimes hunger is really acute, but that passes by itself in short order if for some reason I don't eat anything.

 

I get sleepy when I'm too hungry.

 

When breakfast is skipped....................

 

Yep! It sucks but it happens to me whenever I don't eat, or if it's been too long in between meals. I get really lightheaded/weak and feel like I'm going to pass out. (I never have though.)
I'm pretty sure it's normal though. Your body does need food to function, after all.

 

Sometimes.

 

i uaully get angry, but i also eat alot of snacks in the day, evening, and at night watching tv. i feel like my anxiety is fueld by feeling helpless and unproductive.
