Hypoglycemia headache fatigue
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia headache fatigue
hypoglycemia
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.
he dosent seem to think zoloft could cause it, wellllllll i did a ATch stimulation test this morning and also he told me when i had symptoms to go to a lab, and they will take blood test like for insulin total, pro insulin, glucose, c-pep and something called beta hydrohyoxide might not be right spelling, welll i did the test on that too, but i only had pounding headache and little fatigue , i wasnt severe like i used to be or can be, is testing like that, is that a 100 percent test that its r
The symptoms are exactly what you describe -- light-headed feeling, nausea sometimes, hunger sometimes, dazed feeling, fatigue, headache, hot or cold spells with no reason, unexplained yawning. All of those are possible symptoms, and the symptoms can vary from episode to episode. We do wish you the best in finding the source of your problem.
i've been reading online about hypoglycemia.
lately i've had headaches, but as soon as i've had something to eat like chocolate my headache goes away, also fatigue early in the day, nausea, and occasional stomach pains.
also i have tiny little pimple-like bumps on my hands, which i think is unrelated.
any suggestions??
Keep some small juice boxes or cans handy wherever you are, and if he complains of headache, fatigue, or if he seems cold for no reason, you may want to offer some juice to bring sugar levels up. If I were you, I would ask to be referred to a juvenile diabetes specialist, who can tell you first-hand that seizures can be caused by severe hypoglycemia. No, he does not sound like he is diabetic, but severe hypoglycemia can be just as scary for parents to deal with.
Hello, in recent months I have have a constant intractable headache 24/7. It had been moderate to severe at times, but is allways present. I have had an extensive neurological workup including MRA MRI and CT. I have also been tested for CBC, TSH, compreh. metabolics, among several others.
Went to the ER but they didnt really offer much help, did some blood test and monitored my heart but said it looked fine. Since then I have had a constant mild headache, but its not a normal headache, its just in certain areas of my brain. It is hard to describe, sort of like a dull pressure with spikes of stabbing pain every now and then.
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.
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.

You need to get your daughter examined to rule out a few things such as low blood pressure, postural hypotension, cervical spinal nerve compression, hypoglycemia, severe anemia, an underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (called hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency (called Addison's disease), GERD, and internal ear infections. Polycystic ovarian disease is another cause. Certain types of epilepsies and seizures too can cause similar symptoms.
ve had a constant pressure dull headache associated with stiff muscles in my forehead for a year now. Constant symptoms, overwhelming my life. Lately, ive been having episodes where suddenly the pressure feeling increases in my head, i feel nauseated, my hands tremble, and I have an extreme craving for food. Once I eat a large meal, I slowly begin to feel better, but its usually not until the next day until I feel fully better again..... Also.....
I was also prescribed Lexapro, Lamictal, and Welbutrin for dystymia and anxiety. I recently taperd off the Lexapro. I now have all the symptoms of hypoglycemia: tingling in lips (its constant, no break) and dizziness at just the slightest turn of the head, heart rate that is averaging 100 beats per minute (this has been constant not in little bursts for about three days now), and tightness in the chest/lung area, slight muscular type pain during deep breathing (also for about 5 days now).
I have done a little searching and found that some fatigue up to maybe 15-20 minutes after a BM is normal and caused by bacteria needing to replenish itself..I don't know how accurate that is, but I have the fatigue even before, and it's not a little fatigue, it has me laid up in bed all day sometimes until I can go, and completely drained after for at least half an hour.
Hypoglycemic people need to be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia (shakes, headache, sweating, feelings of fatigue, etc.) and to eat foods to bring sugar levels back up to normal when they occur. Most of my reading on the subject tends to encourage hypoglycemics to keep some juice handy for severe episodes, but also to eat protein-rich foods such as nuts to help keep blood sugar levels from spiking up and down again as they can when treated with the juices alone.
If you call the doctor, you might ask if you ever have had your ferritin (iron stores) tested, as even if you had a normal CBC, low iron can cause dizziness and fatigue and not enough oxygen to the brain, making concentration difficult.
Also regarding the blurred vison- you might check with an opthamologist to see if you shouldn't get an exam for that! And what is your blood pressure like- is it very low or does it drop when you stand?
Hi, the headaches could be due to hypoglycemia, as you may not be eating adequately. You should try eating small frequent nutritious meals. The symptoms of increased appetite and loss of weight could also be due to hyperthyroidism, in which there is an excessive production of thyroxin. Palpitation and tremors can be seen with this disorder besides, thinning of hair, menstrual irregularities, irritability, diarrhea, nervousness, insomnia, heat intolerance and fatigue.
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.
Something may have caused low blood pressure and hypoglycemia, such as adrenal fatigue. Did he get blood tests done to check this, plus electrolytes?
Has he sustained a head injury anytime in the last six months?
If he continues to have trouble, I hope he can have more tests run to find the cause. He should drink a sports water beverage, to keep replenishing his electrolytes. Avoid Gatorade and food coloring.
