Gets Shaky And Weak, Cramps. Reason?

I got really shaky and weak all of a sudden. My legs felt like they were going to give out and I thought I was going to pass out. I thought I was pregnant, but I started my period this morning and had awful cramps like usual. Then when they went away I was fine. I just got home and when I walked up the stairs is when it started. Do you know what it could be?
