Answer 1

You might have low blood sugar. Make sure you are eating balanced meals.

Also you might not have enough potassium if you are sweating a lot, try drinking gatorade instead of water.

You might want to try eating a small energy snack during your workouts like a powerbar or an energy gel to feed your body.

I am skinny and I experience the same feeling because my body doesn't have much fat to burn during workouts, so I always have to eat something after 30 minutes of working out to stay energized.

Answer 2

You are draining electrolytes. Drink plain water and some type of sport drink, like Gatorade. Drink as much as you are comfortable with. A workout should greatly energize you, not the opposite.

Answer 3

See a doctor. You may need eat better or you may catch a serious problem before it catches you.
