Low blood pressure can manifest with very similar symptoms to low blood sugar - aegidian and I have both been taken in by that. I'm guessing that you can't tolerate caffeine with the IBS, but one trick that I've found quite effective, which might tide you over until you can see your doctor, is to up my water intake and ignore the advice about "sipping" - 250 ml of cold water down in one usually resolves the symptoms. No, I have no idea why.
