Diagnosed With Reactive Hypoglycemia, Rapid Heart Rate, Blurry Vision, No Diabetes. What Is The Cause?

okay. this happens sometimes. I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia about a year ago and it scared me badly. I was driving to see my lady all alone about 10.00 P.M. and I just started feeling weird. I felt short of breath I suddenly got hot and sweaty my vision was getting a little unclear. then ofcourse came the rapid heart rate. see I had no idea it could have been the hypo because none of that runs in my family not diabetes or hypo. So I'm wondering how I came to get it when I'm the only one who has it? Also today I went to class and ofcourse I had to walk up a huge hill then into the college then up a flight of stairs before I could sit down. my heart was racing out of control. I tried to take some deep breaths to slow it down. after a few minutes it did slow down but a few minutes after it slowed down and my heart rate was back to normal it out of nowhere just started beating fast for no reason. I hate this its annoying. It doesn't really scare me because ive done it before I usually just stay calm and breath slow and itll eventually slow down. could it be a health issue causing it? or maybe anxiety? I don't believe its the hypo everytime it happens because this is normally after I eat breakfast so I know my sugar hasn't gone low.
