i'm too young to be ill

in march 2009 i went to a concert and had a beer and smoked pot with a friend whom i trusted, and had a very adverse effect. i felt as though i was on a hallucinogenic drug but with no visuals. i became very anxious, had heart palpitations and had to leave immediately. thankfully my friend (who smoked the same pot) did not have any effects of this nature and took me home. it was a nightmare. i was bedridden for days and thought maybe i had also been drugged in my beer, but i never got tested so will never know. in any case i felt toxic for days and would sleep for 14 hours at a time and still wake up tired. even a simple trip to the store or to church became a very difficult thing for me. i would instantly suffer from vertigo and want to leave. waiting in line at a store is still hard at times. since march, i have gotten better but i have been suffering from cases of sudden dizziness accompanied by sweaty palms and feet. people around me say i look pale and even i notice the dark circles under my eyes and the paleness. the anxiety has gone away, since i am used to it, but i also have removed most of the things that initially caused the attack.

i've also discovered that i am probably hypoglycemic, so i take care to eat protein in the morning and to eat small meals often. but even when i do so, if i am too active or if i talk too much, the dizziness returns. i feel like i have indigestion and a general malaise in my body. all i want to do is lie down and be alone. at times i have nearly fainted in public places, and then had to go to the bathroom very badly, usually having more than regular bowel movements (not diarrhea).

this change in my health has really put a damper on my life and i have completely cut out the things that activate the feeling i.e. alcohol, caffeine, recreational drugs being in crowded places, staying up late, but today i had such a feeling even as i was taking a leisurely walk outside in a calm environment. i felt pressure on my bladder because i had to go to the bathroom, but i also felt pain in my stomach. everyone says to go get my bloodwork done, and i am getting it done next week, but wanted to see what answers would come up on here.

can someone please suggest something? thanks for reading.
