  • Feeling dizzy or shaking.
  • Sweating and having pale skin.
  • Developing a headache.
  • Feeling hungry.
  • Showing sudden changes in behavior.
  • Moving clumsily.
  • Having a seizure.
  • Feeling confused or having difficulty paying attention.
  • Feeling a "tingling" sensation around the mouth.
