Wife suddenly felt very weak, dizzy for about 1 hr, then started trembling. AskDocs

My wife was out shopping and suddenly started feeling extremely weak and dizzy. She found a restaurant and drank a coke and some light food.

She called me and asked if she should call an ambulance. I said "no" because this happened once before and after a lot of tests, doctors decided it was just due to dehydration. She doesn't eat a lot and gets easily dehydrated and that what I thought was happening again.

Anyway I got to the restaurant, she feeling so weak that she could barely raise her head and her words were slurred. She told me that when she had initially felt dizzy an hour earlier, she had some diarrhea.

I got her a Gatorade. Over the next hour, she finished the coke, gatorade, some food and her strength slowly returned.

But then something new happened. Her legs, arms, and thighs started trembling like she was sitting in a refrigerator. This lasted for about 30 minutes.

After about 3 hours after it all started, she was good enough back to normal to head back home. However, 5 hours later, she still feels some small trembling in her abdomen. She says its the same kind of trembling that she gets when she has UTI.

She has had a weird variety of symptoms like IBS and vestibule ear disorder over the last year and about 6 months ago doctors diagnosed her with fibromyalgia...but she's not taking medicine for it over the last 6 months she has seemed relatively fine...till tonight.

From my googling....these seem like the symptoms of low blood pressure....however she has also admitted to eating extremely little over the last few days in an effort to lose weight.

Could a lack of food cause all these problems or is this something more serious?

She is 30, normal BMI. She does not exercise though(never has). Does not smoke either. But she always craves salty food.
