low blood sugar possibly. if you don't get the rite amount of foods then your sugar level will drop causing you to get "weak" and light-headed. i have low blood sugar.

hard candies work for me when i'm running or something. also, you mite wanna have yourself tested for diabetes. just incase.

I feel the same way if I don't eat for a coupple of hrs. I had some blood work done and found out I had mononucleosis, and was severly anemic.
my body was making allmost no red blood cells!! Basically, it was like I had no blood! You may also want to get your thyroid checked out along with the basic blood work-up. Eating small amounts of food more frequently helps me out a ton! Good luck and let us know what's up and how you are doing!!!
