These type symptoms may have many causes.
Definitely not related to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) As

- Symptoms not received after having calories.

In such a case I may suggest
- Detailed history taking

To know previous blood sugar control & medications for diabetes.
Recent changes in medicines.
- Detailed physical examination
Blood pressure.
Neurological examination.

Depending upon it further evaluation if needed can be suggested.

Till then use of antacids with antiemetic like omeprazole with domperidon may be suggested.
