this is the case of hypoglycemia , be careful this can be the symptoms of pre-diabetes, get your sugar level checked both fasting and non fasting.
Two most reliable tests to detect the Pre-diabetes are:
1. Fasting plasma glucose test (FPG). If your blood glucose level is abnormal following the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG), then there is the chance that you have impaired fasting glucose (IFG). (70-100 mg/dl = normal, 101-125 mg/dl = pre-diabetes, above 126 mg/dl = diabetes)
2. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). If your blood glucose level is abnormal following the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), then there is the chance that you have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). (below 140 mg/dl = normal, 141-200 mg/dl = pre-diabetes, above 200 mg/dl = diabetes)

There is Hyperglycemic, when your blood sugars are too high, and hypoglycemic, when they are too low. Your case sounds like it is too extreme for something that is normal, and i concur with the crowd there- go to a doctor and get a glucose tolerance test. They will have you drink a sweet liquid on an empty stomach, and then test your blood sugar one or two hours after. If it is below 75 or 70, that is way too low for a healthy body. I would go as soon as possible; someone with too low blood sugar could end up in a coma and die.

You need to go to your doctor! There is a possibility that you could have something like hypoglycemia. It is most certainly your blood sugar levels though and that is nothing to fool around with. The best thing to do is make an appt. with Dr. and 'fast' this way when you go in they can do the blood sugar level testing that day since you fasted.
Worth getting it checked.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

Check with your doctor. I have a friend who is hypoglycemic. This sounds similar to what he goes through.
And, in the meantime, keep a supply of bananas on hand. Eat one when you need. (Most people don't get enough fruit and vegetables in their diet anyway.)

talk to the doctor about this.. you may be preluding to diabetes.
or hopefully it's just some chemical imbalance in your system that can be corrected through of course an analysis of your blood chemistry.
see the doc, have them do a blood panel on you and tell them about this in detail.
:D

I have the same thing but found that I was misunderstanding my dehydration as hunger. It turned out i just needed more liquids.
