My first answer would be to have your blood pressure checked. But from your posts on another thread, you mentioned you eat once/day and drink water, tea and Gatorade the rest of the time. So it could be good old fashioned starvation/malnutrition/low blood sugar. Like I mentioned in the other thread, try eating a couple spoonfuls every few hours.
