You really should ask your doctor why you have hypoglycemia if s/he has diagnosed it.
Hypoglycemia can be a sign that something isn't right with the way your pancreas is functioning but, before you start panicking, your doctor needs to determine why you're experiencing these symptoms.
You wouldn't, by any chance, be one of these people that is constantly dieting, would you? This, in itself, can cause people to experience hypoglycemia.
The treatment for hypoglycemia consists of getting you to eat small amounts of food every 2 or 3 hours. It would be small amounts of food in an attempt to prevent 'sugar spikes', where your blood sugar level rises and comes crashing down due to the amount of insulin your pancreas produces in response. (This is reactive hypoglycemia.)
The fasting hypoglycemia, which you say you don't have, can be caused by such things as insulinomas (growths or tumours in the pancreas), which cause an excess of insulin to be produced. (This can also be called clinical hypoglycemia.)
As I said at the beginning of my response, you really need to be discussing this with your doctor. None of us here could possibly know the full details of your medical background.
