What Causes Excessive Sweating Along With Weakness And Dizziness?

What does it mean when I suddenly break out in a sweat, and I was sweating profusely, I felt weak and dizzy so I had to lay down because I felt like I was going to pass out or fall down and I craved something sweat and a diet soda. I felt like I needed to eat something like protein. I had to lay down, put a cold wash cloth on my forehead because I felt hot and it lasted for about 20 minutes?
