Hypoglycemia and vision
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia and vision
hypoglycemia
I would see your doctor about this very soon, as folks with hypoglycemia may develop diabetes later on. You may have pre-diabetes, and need to go on a diabetic diet. Meanwhile, make sure you have both protein and carbohydrates with all meals, and with all snacks, which you seem to be doing. You also might need to get a dietary consult and/or see an endocrinologist, for both are specially trained in working with people with blood sugar problems.
Lately, I have noticed towards the end of my workout, during the cool down, the last 10 minutes, I begin to feel lightheaded...I get the strobelight effect in the middle of my vision, and my entire field of vision begins to darken somewhat. At first, I thought this is near syncope, but recently I had a severe occurrence which my instinct told me to take my blood sugar, so I do and it was 39. I was on the verge of collapse and quickly drank a 12 oz soda and some orange juice.
You don't say if you have type 1 diabetes. How low does your blood sugar drop at how long after eating. Then how high does it spike? Are you on medication or insulin?
Ok so I'm 28+2 and am getting dizzy spells were u feel really hot and my vision goes a little funny. Has anyone else experienced this ???
You should get a second opinion as you may have been misdiagnosed. Ask to see an Endocrinologist - a diabetes specialist - for a second opinion. To my knowledge, shaking leans more towards hypoglycemia [type 1] than hyperglycemia [type 2] [see the following].
Then a ringing in my ears that kept getting louder, as these three things kept getting stronger i started to see blue spots, losing my vision, and felt confusion. i ended the conversation with my buddy and stepped out side, i immidiatly started to sweat as well. but after couple of minutes of fresh air and some water. i felt much better. what might have caused this?
I had just eaten a hotcheetos with lemon bag and my body was telling me to stop several times. But i kept riding and pushing and when i gave up and stopped.My vision started going yellow like if a yellow glass was suddenly put infront of my eyes. I got off my bike staggering i took 2 steps and jsut lay on the ground 1 minute later my vision was back to normal.
The symptoms are vary varied and might include dizziness, feeling generally out of it, fatigue, irritability, disorientation, tingling. Testing is the key as if your numbers have been high for awhile you will feel low even if you're not. You should treat any lows below 60 (some treat below 70) with a couple glucose tablets. You will learn the correct number for you.
On my way to work about 740 and had to turn around due to starting to get blurry vision. Checked sugar was 115. Drank juice and blurred vision went away in about 10-15 mins. Not sure why keeps happening. Dr. can't figure it out. Been stressed! Read and saw that cortisol hormones may be a cause. Can't sleep for past week. Keep waking up at 3am with BG about 88.
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.
The bright spot only happens during hypoglycemia and is not like the visual aura (bright shimmery zigzaggy spiral and blind spot that grow and then fade away) that happens with my occular and classical migraines. Thanks again for your comments and recommendations.
you may want to call your local pharmacist and ask if your symptoms (and possibly hypoglycemia) can be an odd side effect of any or all of these antibiotics, and if so, if there are any that do not have this affect. You might also ask if hypoglycemic symptoms could be the result of an allergy to these drugs.
But the most common symptoms are excessive thirst and urination, especially at night, feeling tired all the time and possibly weight loss and vision problems. You may also experience symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if you skip meals, which can be feeling shaky, sweating, blurry vision, and feeling cranky or "spacey". These feelings go away when you eat.
like lightheadedness after meals, not being able to stand still, heart palpations and being heat intolerant, dizziness and chest tightness and being tired plus headaches and a lack of appetite and nausea a lot with some tunnel vision or glared vision(things seem too bright). My doctor recommend that I monitor my blood glucose whenever I experience these symptoms.
The dizziness has stopped me in my tracks and the blurred vision which is generally followed by loss of vision in one eye has caused me much concern because it occurs too often for my liking. I could be sitting, standing, or driving and then all of a sudeden out of no where I start to feel a bit strange, and the above systems creep in. I have tried to breathe deeply to prevent the episode. Why am I experiencing this? Should I get another opinion. I have had CAT Scans, heart nad blood work done.
I was diagnosed with benign tonsillar ectopia, fibromyalgia, vitamin d deficiency, and hypoglycemia in June after changing doctors. I was prescribed vitamin d 5000 units and Gabapentin 300mg Capsules. Pain has reduced but numbness and disorientation still there. My hands also go completely numb periodically. Had an eye exam and further testing on my vision. Nothing explained the double vision. All tests to include spinal tap and EMG show normal.
does this sound like a brain tumor or something else with the brain well i am blurr vision and i have to sleep all day cause if i stay awake i feel like i am going to pass out and i have the blurr vision all day its so bad i cant stand it also feels like my body like come out and spins around its kind of wierd does anyone know what this is
Upon standing or getting off of the couch or out of bed, I get a disoriented spell and my whole vision goes black. This lasts for up to a minute. I can get releif by putting my head between my legs. Meanwhile, I can still hear everything around me and I am completely conscious. I also experience face flushing and dizziness during this also. Outside of this occurance, I feel very fatigue and weak. I am taking methadone 80mg and Adderall 30mg once a day. Please help me!!!!!!!!!
We first went to the eye doctor, and she has 20/20 vision. We have an appointment w. her Physician this week, but she ended going to the hospital for extreame dizziness last night. THey did all sorts of test, and her blood sugar was 60. Her test came back fine, the Dr. said there is nothing wrong. She came back over this morning still dizzy. We bought gluclose tablets, which said its the same as oj or a glass of pop and works faster... SO- this is my question.
I been getting these spells where my body goes numb and my vision gets blurry.
