Avatar m tn I'm 14 years old, and I've been having panic attacks for about the last 5 months, along with anxiety attacks. I constantly feel like crap, sometimes it's my stomach, my head, or just dizzy. It makes it hard to do a lot of extra activities because I'm constantly worried about feeling sick or having another panic attack/anxiety attack. I went to my dr. and he took my blood and everything, did an EKG and everything was perfectly normal.
1346429 tn?1303874854 I have low bp but dr said now with zofran to stop me from puking I should be better bp wise and hypoglycemia should be better controlled.
Avatar f tn I had an MRI done a few years ago along with an EKG and recently i was tested for thyroid problems, hypoglycemia, and anemia, but everything was normal. I should also mention that I have been taking zoloft for depression for about 4 years. I try to get a good sleep every night and eat well, but it's not working. Occasionally advil helps with the headaches, but nothing works on the migranes.
956433 tn?1255977108 i have this feeling that every time i move my head fast, or look down i feel dizzy..and my head feels heavy. i have had these symptoms on and off since my anxiety started but havent had it in awhile, but i hate thinking that everything i get now is anxiety..i don't wanna assume its all anxiety just in case it is something..i cant tell if its my sinuses or my hypoglycemia..im so sick of all this ****,,idk if i should go to an ENT or what.. can it be my zoloft stopped working..
Avatar f tn It can also be due to severe acidity with H pylori infection and gastric reflux, hypoglycemia, carcinoid syndromes, hyperthyroidism, and sleep disorders. At times cause cannot be found out. Do discuss this with your doctor (GP/PCP) and get this invesigated. Take care!
1773104 tn?1314155711 Certainly hypoglycemia can trigger anxiety and panic, but rarely would it be the sole cause behind it. It is common for someone new to anxiety to do serious soul searching to try and find a logical "reason" behind the new emergence of anxiety and panic. We turn into detectives and try to find a sensible reason why it showed up (most times seemingly "out of the blue").
290867 tn?1333569278 my anxiety has just now calmed down since i been on Zoloft. how did the glucose test turn out. i had one and i have hypoglycemia and that can give u feelings of anxiety especially if you need to eat or are eating the wrong foods..also i would take the meds if i was you..when i started Zoloft i actually felt worse..its been a little more then 3 weeks and they are just starting to work now..i hate meds to and i almost stopped taking them a few times cause of how they made me feel..
Avatar m tn im a little worried, i dont think it make sense that they say i am, my chest always hurts and my upper back pain is unbearable, dizziness out of no where, i used to drop on my knees and couldnt see for like 10 seconds , they did a echo of my heart, and they say its hypoglycemia so idk i go to bed and i wake up with my chest hurting, i test sugar and its 104 or around there my pulse drops to 50 at night :( it took them a year to say its hypoglycemia
Avatar n tn well this could be the hypoglycemia, i too have it but dont often have symptoms because i eat constantly and eat candy often. but i am no doctor so you should definately ask your doctor about it. hypoglycemia seems to be thought of as not serious, but in fact its just as serious as diabetes, and also can progress like diabetes. you may have been told this 5 years ago but it may have progressed to a higher level. it could be worse. you need to have your doctor check your blood sugar levels.
Avatar n tn Have you had a glucose tolerance test to see if your body produces too much insulin as a reaction when you eat? This is a different test from having a simple blood sugar test -- you must drink a sugary solution and blood is drawn several times to see how your body is reacting. 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.
Avatar n tn You may not know that a dry mouth which can feel like thirst is one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia as well as diabetes. And logic tells us that if your mouth is dry and you are drinking lots of fluids, you will urinate often. I am a tightly-controlled type 1 diabetic, and the dry mouth feeling that I get when my glucose is low is almost identical to the sensation of having high blood sugar.
Avatar n tn Is hypoglycemia the same as diabetes? What's the difference between type 1 and type2 diabetes? is it the age of the person that makes the difference between the two types?
Avatar n tn Many people have some hypoglycemia(through increased insulin sensitivity) after they exercise and the effect can last for hours afterwards. If you are on insulin, you can decrease your dose prior to exercising. Otherwise, you can eat some additional carbs prior to exercising and also afterwards, with some complexed in a meal so that it lasts for a while to prevent hypoglycemia later.
Avatar n tn If not, then perhpas the narcotic medication is to blame and another medication should be considered. Pain is miserable, but hypoglycemia can be life-threatening (especially when driving), so an alternative medication would perhaps be the smarter approach even if pain is not treated quite as well with it.
Avatar f tn Trembling, fatigue and headaches after meals may be caused by postprandial hypoglycemia or reactive hypoglycemia. To verify this diagnosis, you need to check your blood sugar level ( a blood glucose level that falls below 70mg/dL). This condition usually occurs in individuals who do not have diabetes. Associated symptoms include sweating, dizziness, anxiety, confusion, weakness and difficulty with speech.
Avatar f tn I have been having really bad anxiety on and off. The Dr. gave me Zoloft and it seems to have helped with my anxiety. But as it is I have a very hard time getting restful sleep. When I do sleep I have ongoing dreams and my mind doesn't get any rest. Now with the Zoloft my sleep is much less restful. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I have hep c and recently diagnosed woith hypoglycemia im very scared what will happen to me TY KRISTINE SMITH
Avatar n tn I looked up the side effects of Zoloft and tachycardia or any arrhythmia for that matter is not listed. You may want to ask your doctor about this. It could be some anxiety but the Zoloft should be helping with that by now. Take care.
1654177 tn?1319838494 I seem to keep my weight down too easily these days, I eat a lot, and I only mildly exercise (walking, hiking and pilates). Anyway, I told my doctor at Kaiser and she ran a random blood glucose test (non-fasting). My blood sugar was 68 ml/dl, the standard range is 70-140 ml/dl. She says to just eat less carbs and do more cardio exercise, and that this could be pre-diabetes. The part that concerns me is the numb feet.
Avatar f tn Actoplusmet along with diet has caused daily reading to be perfectly between 80 and 120 and A1C levels have averaged between 5.5 and 5.0. This is all without any exercise program (I do stand and walk all day, but that's all). All of this is to say that I want to take as few medications as possible. I was also prescribed Lexapro, Lamictal, and Welbutrin for dystymia and anxiety. I recently taperd off the Lexapro.
Avatar n tn If not, I would go back to your PCP and request a full panel blood test for thyroid, metabolic panel, adrenals and Vit D and DHEA and B12. I would not wait until May to get this done but keep your appt. with endo.
6918915 tn?1395932871 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.
