hypoglycemia and blood pressure

I can no longer take my heart meds for high blood pressure and irregular hb; topomax for migraines; metaphormin; and a few others. Which I quit taking some of my meds before pregnancy because I did a lifestyle change in which it helped enough that I could quit taking the extra meds. As far as C-section...both my boys were early but big because of the diabetes (not gestational) and I could not have them natually so this is another C-section baby.

Low blood sugars can be VERY scary and hard to deal with. You may want to talk to your Dr. about getting a prescription and training as to how to use a Glucophage kit. This is essentially a large dose of sugar in the form of a shot to use in severe low blood sugar situations. Also you will need to have those around you trained in its use as well in case you can not get food and sugar fast enough on your own.

I would recommend having your blood sugar and blood pressure checked. I would not recommend drinking alcohol if that is possible. What's your diet like?

You need to get examined to rule out a few things such as low blood pressure, postural hypotension (fall in blood pressure, cervical spinal nerve compression, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), severe anemia, an underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (called hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency (called Addison's disease), GERD or gastric reflux, and internal ear infections. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!

t improve in a week I would go to a pharmacy that has a blood pressure machine and check it before and after class.if it is high you may need medicine until it comes down.

it can be due to high blood pressure, low blood pressure including bleeding disorders causing anemia, heart diseases like arrhythmias, attack, cardiomyopathy, medications like blood pressure drugs , antidepressants, metabolic disorders like hypoxia, hypoglycemia, dehydration. in women, internal bleeding or hemorrhage, anemia, infections, endocrine disease like thyroid, pituitary gland and adrenals, allergies may cause wheezing, low blood pressure, can trigger sinusitis and resulting dizziness.

ve heard that dizziness and blurred vision could be a sign of pre-eclampsia. Has your blood pressure been ok? You should call your doctor.

You may have a tolerance for high blood sugar and a drop in the glucose can cause the hypoglycemia symptoms even though the numbers can be high. Have you try crystal light drinks?

I also have low blood pressure which complicates the issue. When my sugar levels drop my blood pressure follows suit and I get to the point of passing out. I haven't seen a doctor, but I've been reading articles that lead me to believe that I may be pre-diabetic. The only thing is I don't understand how you can go from having low blood sugar to being a diabeitc. I thought diabetics had too much sugar in their blood stream.

I suddenly get very light headed, dizzy, anxious, hot, sweaty and STARVING. I think this is hypoglycemia but not totally sure and I'm going to ask my doctor on Monday at my appt. It happened here and there a few weeks ago but now it's been happening every day and its awful. I end up literally stuffing my face with anything I can find that has sugar because my body feels like that's my only instinct. Then after like 20 minutes of eating and putting my head down I feel better.

Hi there. Your fullness of head feeling should not be taken lightly. It could be a hypertensive episode, a transient ischemic attack, hypoglycemia, dizziness due to possible anemia, stress, anxiety attack or an unruptured aneurysm. So this needs immediate medical attention by a neurologist last something serious is missed out. Hope this helps. Take care and regards.

My blood sugar freaks out all the time and they have no idea why. They have done all the test and they can't figure out what is causing my blood sugar to do this. Some days it will drop down to the 40s if I don't eat every two or three hours. And sometimes it's gets really, really high when I haven't eaten for half the day. Sometimes when I go in they say I have hypoglycemia. Other times they think it's diabetes.

You can discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Dizziness could be due to postural hypotension (blood pressure falling with change of position), internal ear problems and cervical spondylitis or compression of cervical spinal nerves. All these cause dizziness when you get up from lying down position or when you change position that results in a change in the level of your head. Cervical spondylitis and ear problems also cause dizziness on changing the position of the neck.

It is getting to be a pain in the butt. I have had my thyroid checked and my medication for that is correct and I just got my blood pressure checked and they said it was excellent. So I have no idea what it could be. Any Ideas?

On a recent visit to my periodontal dentist, I received an injection to numb my gums for surgery. After the injection, my blood sugar level sent me into hypoglycemia and I had to have some apple sauce to bring up my blood sugar level before continuing. I have never had hypoglycemia before.

i am 41 year old, had kidney transplant 9 years back , so i am on steroid and blood pressure and anti cholesterol medications.i am also going through very rough and stressful divorce .my recent creatnine level is 2.7. first episode happened last year july and then again April 25 2008. a similar episode happened today early morning.in all three episodes , it has happened between 2.

I do suffer from Chronic fatique syndrome, low blood pressure and occasional anxiety. Thankyou for your time.

It was a simple blood test and off I went. My GP told me that is the test to diagnose hypoglycemia, but his response sounded wrong to me as my symptoms are in relation to food. I am more interested in knowing how my body reacts to food since that is when I am symptomatic. From what I have read, reactive hypoglycemia is not diagnosed by a fasting glucose blood test alone but rather a GTT/OGTT. Is this your understanding?

Has anyone notice their Blood pressure and Sugar fluctuate.. Everytime i go to the Doc my blood pressure is high.. Tonight i went to a local store to check it on one of those blood pressure testers and it was 166 over 108 heart rate 74.. What do you guys think i should do??

I get dizzy when it's too low and too high. When it's too high I also get nauseous though.

This is not a continual feeing it comes and goes . I have boarder line diabetic and high blood pressure (controlled by meds) From my research I think I may have arthritis in my jaw (I am 60)... And a nerve causing the the other symptoms... But I am concerned it could be my sugar levels out of whack .. I have been under slot of stress lately.

It is usually controlled with a change in eating habits (only high protein/fat food at night, no carbs after 6 PM) and often Chromium picolinate, a metabolic and blood sugar regulator, is recommended. In severe cases, the carbohydrate intake is limited to just vegetable and gluten-containing foods (potatoes, wheat, oatmeal, etc) are severely restricted or eliminated all together.

My blood preesure has been low, with or without Metoprolol. I would recommend that you purchase a blood pressure device and monitor your pressure daily, to see how the med. affects your pressure. I was originally taking 100mg a day, which was cut to 50mg a day, doen to 25mg a day, and finally taken off Metoprolol. Your Dr. should know best, but don't be afraid to ask questions and don't give up until you feel you have gotten an honest answer.

My blood pressure is 115/68 and pretty consistent. I feel a little dizzy most of the time but get really dizzy when I stand up. I started a new job in May and have gotten less exercise than I normally used to get. Can that have something to do with it? Any ideas and should I go to the doctor?
