Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia causes symptoms

hypoglycemia

Avatar n tn That sounds like Reactive Hypoglycemia, which is a condition where people's blood sugar drops after eating a meal high in carbs. You could try eating less carbs and see if it improves or you could visit your doctor.
Avatar n tn org/forums/Diabetes---Adult-Type-II/show/46 While there is some degree of variability among people, most will usually develop symptoms suggestive of hypoglycemia when blood glucose levels are lowered to the mid 60's. The first set of symptoms are called adrenergic (or sympathetic) because they relate to the nervous system's response to hypoglycemia.
Avatar f tn These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
Avatar n tn 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.

Have them call the doctor today. I know it's hard when finances are an issue. A lot of pharmaceutical companies offer assistance programs, so maybe that can help offset some problems.
Avatar n tn Unfortunately, when people have what is called REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA (when the body reacts by over-producing insulin, which causes hypoglycemia), it can be difficult to show in a test. I have known people with classic symptoms who surely suffer from this problem who have had negative results from glucose tolerance tests. This is because there are so many factors that can contribute to hypoglycemia -- stress, hormones, activity, what foods you eat, and a myriad more.
Avatar n tn In Hypoglycemia, the pancreas makes too MUCH insulin at times, and this overdose of insulin, if you will, causes the symptoms you describe. You will find that eating something that has some carbohydrates in it will make you feel better quicker than something that is low in carbohydrates when you feel this way. Many people exeperience this and there can be many causes.
Avatar f tn This causes rapid rise of glucose, then rise of insulin, which is followed by drop of glucose, which leads to hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia then triggers adrenalin secretion, which causes hot flushes, excitement, even tremor, sometimes diarrhea or vomiting. Symptoms in above two disorders would vanish within an hour. If this is not the case, search for "CARCINOID SYNDROME" and tell what you think.
Avatar n tn However, in someone who has a shunt and on examination and history there is no evidence of shunt problems, and if the hydrocephalus is under control, then a feeling of sickness with eating is not expected, and a search for other causes (gasteroenterologic, GI, causes) is necessary. Any food or liquids that contain sugar (that is broken down to glucose) is helpful in preventing or treating low blood sugar.
Avatar n tn I cannot go for more than about 90 minutes without feelings of ravenous hunger and symptoms of hypoglycemia. I have tested for hypoglycemia, but symptoms occur in the mid-60s, well before the standard blood glucose level identified as hypoglycemic. I have had my thyroid tested (normal) and two blood panels: standard metabolic (CO2 level slightly high at 34, otherwise normal) and standard blood test (normal). I have seen a counselor.
Avatar n tn Your initial symptoms may be related to hypoglycemia. There are rare causes of this problem, related to endocrine disorders, liver dysfunction or in very rare instances related to an insulin producing tumor. You should have an echocardiogram to assess your ejection fraction and for the presence of any valvular heart disease. And for the palpitations you may have an event monitor or holter monitor to document and characterize any tachycardias.
Avatar m tn if i have autonomic neuropathy am i a diabetec type ii? when i was 23 or 24 years old i had symptoms that i didn't understand. i told a good friend about how i was feeeling and he said his mother has hypoglycemis. the symptoms were the same. so i thought i had hypoglicemia for all these years. i even told doctors and there was no test done.. howeve,r now i have been diagnosed with diabetes tyoe ii.
757137 tn?1347196453 I have long believed that most alcoholism was not a psychological problem, but a physical one related to hypoglycemia. Some years ago I had occasion to test my theory on a friend of mine who had become an alcoholic. She had all the signs of a hypoglycemic, the most notable being sugar cravings. (She was, by the way, very slender.) She told me she went on her biggest binges when she got out of rehab. I found out that in rehab they replace alcohol with lots of sugary foods.
Avatar n tn hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, and it is increasingly prevalent in our society. Hypoglycemia can cause an array of symptoms, including spaciness, fatigue, mood changes, PMS, sugar craving, headaches, difficulty focusing the eyes, tremors, temperamental outbursts, depression, excessive sweating, hot flashes, palpitations, cold extremities, abdominal pain, and panic attacks.
Avatar n tn In some patients, symptoms of hypoglycemia occur during fasting (fasting hypoglycemia). In others, symptoms of hypoglycemia occur after meals (reactive hypoglycemia). Drug-induced hypoglycemia is seen with the inadvertent or intentional overdose of insulin or oral medications used to lower blood glucose. Blood glucose-lowering pills and insulin are medications used to lower the abnormally high blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Avatar f tn t specific to hypoglycemia. There may be other causes. An intravenous blood sample to test your blood sugar level at the time of these signs and symptoms is the only way to know for sure that hypoglycemia is the cause. It's my guess that's what it was and after you ate the apple you felt better. Please see your doctor just to be sure!
Avatar n tn I have symptoms and rheumatoid arthritis. Can anything help these symptoms?
Avatar n tn I think she must do a complete study of possible causes of hypoglycemia, there are some other endocrine deficiencies, certain disorders of the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland that can result in a deficiency of key hormones that regulate glucose production. I would recommend her to do much more tests (when the glycemia is low) to find out (exclude) the causes (ex. of some tests: insulin , C peptide, cortisol, ethanol, Hemoglobin A1c ....) .
Avatar n tn what causes symotoms of dizziness,sweating and room spinning,feeling like you have to throw without using liquor
Avatar n tn It could be hypoglycemia. I've been getting bad low blood sugar attacks almost every day and I almost get to the point of passing out. I would ask your doctor. Do you have any symptoms before it happens that let's you know it's about to? Hypoglycemia causes sweating, shakiness, disorientation, severe hunger and weakness. If you do get those symptoms beforehand, try eating some candy. I have to carry it with me everywhere now.
Avatar n tn Your symptoms of dizziness, headaches, lightheadedness, if they are relieved by eating something, indicate that you might be having episodes of hypoglycemia. Inadequate sleep can also cause tiredness, fatigue and dizziness. Other causes for these symptoms are inner ear infections; brain disorders heart problems, fever, stress, low blood pressure and anxiety. Please consult your GP who will examine you and may ask for blood tests for evaluating blood sugar and CBC.
Avatar n tn Hello, Allergic rhinitis can be one of the causes of night sweats but many other causes are also there. Anxiety and stress are also important causes of night sweats. Infections like sinusitis, pharyngitis, or other upper respiratory infections are an important cause of night sweats. Other than that perimenopausal women often experience night sweats.How old are you? Perimenopause is defined as the transitional period from normal menstrual periods to no periods at all.
