Suffering From Binge Eating. During Hungry Feel Dizzy, Light Headed And Sleep Long. Concerned?

I have been going through this pattern of unintentional starvation to binge eating, When i'm going through the starvation phase all food makes me sick, i can barley keep a piece of toast down and i'm always feeling dizzy and light headed i also have no energy and tend to sleep a lot, usually 12-14 hours every day, i'm not quite sure what's going on. when i binge eat i eat until i feel like my stomach is about to burst wait 1-2 hours and eat again. What kind of eating disorder or other possible health issue could this be?
