Common Questions and Answers about Seizure symptoms hypoglycemia
seizure
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.
but will hypoglycemia always show up on a blood test? because when she has had her blood tested, it has been at times when she feels fine. no docto has even brought up a the possibility of hypoglycemia or diabeties or anything. but I just have this feeling the seizures are from her sugar or salt levels spiking sometimes. she often complains of feeling dizzy and gets headaches.
Also have you ever heard of having a seizure and then the BS registers 130 after the seizure. No one was here with him the other day when this happened and when my daughter in law came in she took his BS and it was 130. He was talking but was very sore muscles and a headache, so we assumed it was a seizure because he had not been ansxering the phone. Also after this one he was very confused for 5 or 6 hours. I was two hours away and was frantic.
t find any epileptic tenancies and since it was only one seizure to not worry about it. I know hypoglycemia can cause seizures, but is it likely and what tests can we request from the doctors to try to confirm this (he has tried a fasting blood test of 12 hours and it came back fine)?
Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Your son's symptoms sound more like hypoglycemia than diabetes. That is a condition where someone's blood sugars drop too low for whatever reason, and it's different from diabetes in both cause and treatment. I would request to your doctor to get a hypoglycemia check done. Good luck.
s all in my head, but these are real physical symptoms. Now I have heard that Hypoglycemia is linked to panic attacks, and eating a non- sugary snack while panicing will help this. This works for me, that's why I think i may have hypoglycemia. I think my fear of seizures while having my panic attacks comes from me knowing that hypoglycemia can cause seizures.
Please don't be scared for diabetes is not life threatening unless you ignore how to control it. And controlling/managing diabetes is piece of cake but you and you alone must take action. Go see your doctor today, don't wait, run.
In the meantime go to your local drug store and pick up some glucose tablets. Read this web page and learn to recognize low blood sugar [glucose] symptoms and learn when to use the glucose tablets to raise your glucose levels back to normal.
The yelping before hand might make you wonder if there is something hurting him that could be causing the seizure, something inside him that the approaching seizure triggers causing him pain, or if it just his way of responding to the approaching seizure? In Idiopathic Epilepsy the vocalizations prior to the seizure are said to be involuntary and not painful.

The drinking afterward could possibly be diabetic related.
m being told there is NO WAY POSSIBLE that hypoglycemia can cause a seizure. I need real advice from someone. They want to lable him as epiletic. Can someone give me advice!
Some seizures can cause damage to the brain, hyperthermia (which can effect all organs of the body), can cause additional trauma, can cause cardiovascular abnormalities (abnormal heart function). If the seizure is due to an insulinoma, for example, the hypoglycemia that the insulinoma causes can be life threatening, if untreated.
Since your dog did not lost consciousness or seize, her epilepsy may not cause her any problems.

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.
This morning I awoke with nauesa, which went away after an hour or so and it was replaced with a headache and blurred vision. These were the same symptoms that I had in the hospital shortly after the seizure. All symptoms are gone, other than the blurry vision, which seems worse in my left eye.
Should I be concerned about these symptoms? Is it possible that I had another seizure in my sleep and awoke with the normal symptoms?
These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
She did have tapes and I had her dewormed. We thought the funky labs and seizure may have been caused by hypoglycemia from the tapes.
Five days after the first seizure she had two more in one night and two days after that (today) she had another. I've been doing some research, hoping this isn't true epilepsy, and have come across only one other thing that it may be... toxoplasmosis. She is exhibiting a few of the symptoms, but not all.
Over the past 3 years i have had periodic black outs where i just collapse on the floor everything goes dark and i can feel a terrable pressure all around my head sort of like a head ache but everywhere the longest one i have had lasted about 4 or 5 mins and led to a short seizure. I am just tired of this happening it happens at least once a day and at most four times a day i have had a seizure every month for the past six months.
I have been having a seizure like problem. It only happens when I walk or run. I had it once in a while in high school, never got it checked out. But it has gotten worse after the 4th of july 2010. I suffered heat exhaustion was rushed to the ER by ambulance, took me over three weeks to recover from that. But since then my seizure like problems have happened more and more. I haven't the seizure thing since about 9th grade, I have been out of school for over 5years now.

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.
Your GP sounds ill-informed about diabetes. Here are the symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) taken from a publically available page on the JDRF website (www.jdrf.org) -- search under RESEARCH for other informative topics.
The Article is Entitled, "A Child With Diabetes is in your Care"
...Each child has a particular set of personal symptoms that you will come to recognize.
hi-i am so new to this but need help-after a normal day i put my 19mo old to bed-she awoke at 4am screaming-i picked her up and she took a mild seizure then became nonresponsive. after 911 she was at childrens ER where they discovered a BS of 35. they had already adm adavan for seizure possibilty, after fluids she came around in about an hour then was discharged. she was not herself and we went back and was admitted. she was monitored for 24 then discharged.
See a doctor to rule out hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures. So can diabetes. The weird taste in her mouth may be ketoacidosis.Your daughter should get checked for these sort of insulin/blood sugar-related disorders, as well as epilepsy to see whether they are co-morbid, or only epilepsy or something else entirely.
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.
