Hello!
I read carefully your query.
If I were your treating doctor I would try to exclude the most common causes of these symptoms.In order to do that you need to do some studies.
-Complete blood count to exclude anemia (low red blood cells and low hemoglobin)
since you have a history of donating blood.
-Blood sugar to exclude an hypoglicemia(low blood sugar)
-Monitor your blood pressure to exclude a possible fluctuacion in blood pressure during the day.

If these tests result normal I suggest to consult a physician foe further diagnosis and treatment.
Meanwhile you should get some rest,eat healthy foods mostly green vegetables,drink plenty of fluids.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care
