What Causes Light Headedness, Sweating And Fast Heart Rate On Missing Meal?

I have always noticed that I ve not been able to skip on meals as I will get a migraine...but something else has been occurring. If I am late in eating I begin to feel light headed, sweaty, heart beating fast and dizzy like I m going to faint. Usually if I eat something I will feel a little better. One day at work I did pass out. When I awoke I was very shaky and weak and a co-worker (diabetic) tested my blood sugar which was 70; she told me to eat a candy bar so I did and later tested at 65. I went to dr. who took blood after fasting (90) and then two hours after eating (65). He told me it was fine and that I just need to increase calorie intake but after speaking with others they think I m hypoglycemic...can you help?
