Cold, clammy, wet skin; excessive sweating not caused by exercise.
A rapid heartbeat (tachycardia).

Those are the symptoms of Hypoglycemia. This is Functional Hypoglycemia. It basically means that your pancreas puts too much natural insulin into the bloodstream. Since all of the cells in your body, including blood cells, brain cells, etc. use glucose from your food as energy, and the insulin is counter-acting it, you end up with physical and emotional symptoms. Here's a list of symptoms of Functional Hypoglycemia:

fatigue
insomnia
mental confusion
nervousness
mood swings
faintness
headaches
depression
phobias
heart palpitations
a craving for sweets
cold hands and feet
forgetfulness
dizziness
blurred vision
inner trembling
outbursts of temper
sudden hunger
allergies
crying spells

Yes.

Generally sweating and Shaking. Low Blood Sugar count ie below 70.

If you are experiencing these symptoms. Drink 8 oz of orange juice and then eat a sandwhich or some other food with carbohydrates in them. Be prepared to be very sleepy when the symptoms subside. I know I get that way.

The symptoms of low blood sugar may vary from episode to episode because it can be mild, moderate, or severe. Mild hypoglycemia can cause nausea, a jittery or nervous feeling, cold and clammy skin, and a rapid heartbeat. Moderate hypoglycemia often makes you feel irritable, anxious, or confused. You may have blurred vision, feel unsteady, and have difficulty walking. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to loss of consciousness, seizures, and coma and may be fatal.

Hypoglycemia, or slow blood sugar, can cause a wide array of symptoms including craving for sweets, irritability, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, poor memory, heart palpitations, shakiness, blurry vision, depression or mood swings, and frequent anxiety or nervousness. If you have several of these symptoms or any of them in a severe form, see a nutritionally oriented (or Internal Medicine) physician for diagnosis and treatment.

It sound more like Heatstroke than hypoglycemia. Drink plenty of fluids before going into the sun.
