Was cleaning not hard work suddenly felt weak in legs and arms and bit dizzy, had to stop and sit down, got some nuts to eat. Have had this happen before and it seems to get better with food, i do have high blood pressure and ulcerated cholitis. I know I should see doctor but not sure why this comes on with no seemingly any reason...

Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to hypoglycemia (low fasting glucose).
For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes
- HbA1C
- glucose tolerance test.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
