Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes symptoms lightheadedness
diabetes
Hello,
I have just began having trouble with light-headedness(not dizziness) after eating. My firt thought was either high-blood pressure or diabetes. I went to the doctor's and my blood pressure was normal(120/70). I then thought diabetes. I have been trying to pinpoint what I am eating when this happens. This moring I ate 2 piece of turkey sausage and about 15 minutes later I had an egg and then the lightheadedness began. It is now about 45minutes later, still going on.????????
Hyper or hypo active adrenal glands can cause tingling, chest pain, abdominal pain, sweating, lightheadedness; symptoms mirroring diabetes, blood pressure fluctuations, tendency to gain or lose weight; lack of energy; difficulty concentrating; poor memory; chronically high stress levels; mild depression; dry and thin skin; unexplained hair loss; heart palpitations; dyspepsia; constipation; hypoglycemia (low blood sugar); food allergies, high frequency of the flu or infections, lightheadedness
Anxiety can cause all sorts of symptoms to include lightheadedness, dizziness, etc. In my experience, we can also focus in on many symptoms and compound the problems and how we perceive them. Have you dealt with anxiety for a long time?
Your symptoms of headaches, shakes and lightheadedness sound like hypoglycemia, which is LOW blood sugar. Other symptoms would be if you get hot and break out in a sweat, find yourself feeling confused or perhaps depressed or irritable, or find yourself yawning for no reason. This can happen to people when they have not eaten in a long time or if they eat something that has a lot of quickly digested carbohydrates that cause the pancreas to be stimulated too much.
Recently I have been blaming high blood glucose levels from poorly controlled type2 diabetes but after describing these recent symptoms to my diabetologist she flatly denied that these could be symptoms of diabetes alone and that although some feelings of dizziness could be a symptom she feels that the severity isn't consistant and so is sending me to a sleep lab ...oh well.
Here's the question.
Hi Doctor, recently about 1 and half years diagnosed with type 1and a half diabetes and now on a pump. I went from hashimotos to lupus to diabetes to vitiligo. I'm getting episodes of low blood pressure 84/54 with foggy head/lightheaded as well. blood sugers are ok at this time but recently had a bad flu with 101 fever. always am dehydrated though I drink 6-8 bottles of water daily. What to do when these episodes happen???? Is there a specific test I should have done????
Hi and thanks for using the forum.
If you are worried you should see your primary doctor. Do you have a history of diabetes in your family? At your age, your metabolism tends to be very fast, so it is not unusual to feel really hungry. Some girls are prone to yeast infections, but if you still have the itching despite being treated for the yeast infection, you should see your doctor (OB/GYN if you have one) about that.
I'm concerned about the possibility of Hypothyroid symptoms. I'm American, 32, white, female, and I've gained alot of weight recently. (I was 130lbs in March, and last week I weighed in at 146lbs) I'm only 5'0 tall, so I'm officially overweight now. I've always had low blood pressure, but recently, other symptoms have been cropping up. I have night sweats every night- my clothes are always drenched in the morning. That's never happened before this spring.
vomiting, dizziness, slight pain in my heart, and diarrhea. I could not even drink water, and I lost a bit weight. I visited a general practitioner who told me that it was due to fatigue, stress, or food poisoning. He prescribed multivitamins (effervescent), medicine containing magnesium, and some capsules for the stomach. After a week I felt better.
Almost a month and half later, I fell sick again, but this time it was very serious. I almost DIED. I had the same symptoms, except diarrhea.
I'm trying to learn more about the symptoms of EBV, so I was wondering if a couple of the symptoms could be dizziness and less strength in the muscle. Also I wonder if it could affect your skin besides lymph nodes?
I am experiencing crazy symptoms: tachycardia, lightheadedness, receding and inflammed gums. EKG, cardiogram and basic blood work all normal. Got woken up at nidnight with lightheadedness and warm waves/weakness moving across my body in sections. it started with my head, moved in waves down to my feet, and back up. I ended up sleeping proped up against a pillow but my lower legs still feel that sensation. They checked me for Sogrens, Thyroid, CBC- all normal.
coronary artery disease and aortic aneurysm. Your symptoms of squeezing in the chest and lightheadedness would be worrisome for coronary artery disease, but I don't know your risk factors (age, cholesterol, blood pressure, family history, smoking, diabetes) but it would be prudent to ask your physician to check those out.
Does Anyone have severe dizziness/lightheadedness that accompanies their pain. I am actually becoming more concerned with the lightheadedness than the pain. Yesterday I actually ended up at U of P ER because of an episode where I actually felt I was going to loose consciousness. There was a heat like sensation up the back of my neck into my head and I immediately began to sweat and get clammy. Has anyone had this?
Im a 16yr old girl and for a few months now i haven't been feeling the best.My symptoms are random dizziness when i stand up sometimes to where i have to sit down for a minute,headaches,tired all the time,back pain,and low energy.
It had information about pre-diabetes, when blood glucose levels after fasting are between 100-125. It says diabetes is indicated when fasting blood sugars are 126 or higher. Yours are in between those with 120-130. So, this may be something to ask your doctor about. Are you seeing an Endocronologist?-that is a diabetes specialist-sounds like you are, but I wanted to make sure.
Losing weight is not easy! Are you walking or doing some other activity?
s disease), low blood sugar levels, and in some cases, diabetes, may lead to hypotension and hence lightheadedness and an off balance feeling.
Certain types of epilepsies and seizures too can cause similar symptoms. If you have an accompanying headache then you must also look at benign intracranial hypertension. Heart problems too should be ruled out in your case. If all other tests are normal, maybe an ECHO should be done to rule out mitral valve prolapse.

What you suffer from is probably a vasovagal syncope or a vasovagal attack. The complex group of symptoms are mediated by the vagus nerve. This nerve is irritated by prolonged standing, standing up suddenly, stress, pain, hunger, dehydration, intense emotion etc. A tilt table test, holter monitor, echocardiogram etc are done for confirmed diagnosis. Discuss this with your doctor.
There are many causes of dizziness, lightheadedness, passing out, blackouts etc.
I have been suffering from several symptoms for over a year and they are progressively getting worse. I have a crack in my bathroom ceiling of my rented apartment and have cleaned mold off of that ceiling before. I have a feeling there is still mold growing inside of it. I have the following symptoms:
~Chronic Sinus problem w/ a cough. Worse in the morning and at night (i.e. when i'm home)
~Fatigue: I am constantly tired/have no energy.
