Could this be due to iron deficiency or hypoglycemia? If so, how to prevent it from happening again or how to react

This weekend for the second time, I was at work and felt weak. My skin gets very pale and I feel dizzy. I was fasting, but the last time it happened this summer I had eaten.

Good morning, ma'am,
If you have been fasting and/or not properly hydrated, this is likely to happen.
It can also occur during episodes of fatigue, overwork, increased workload, or a combination of these possible factors.
At first glance, I think we should try to rule out other possible causes. What I suggest for the next 4 to 6 weeks is to keep a journal where you write down everything you consume and the quantities, but also the activities you undertake, and your state of mind (fatigue, stress, etc.). In the second column you could write down the occurrence and extent of the symptoms. We could then identify some possible causes. This may take several weeks so I suggest being diligent.
If no cause can be suggested, I suggest consulting a physician to get a thorough evaluation of the situation.
I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
