There were several days I didn't get enough to eat and besides causing more weight loss, it also made me weaker with main side effect being I would get cold more easily (and have to take more frequent naps). I had to raise thermostat in my house by as much as 4 degrees over normal.
While this may help explain what's going on, I also agree with Christine that you should see your doctor. Don't let it get worse, you're already in a weakened state.
Let us know what the doc says.
