Avatar f tn I read a comment that said there are risk factors that may play a role in one having MS and that a prior infectious trigger is one. I've ALWAYS been a magnet for UNUSAL diseases. scarlet fever, immuno-thrombocytopenia , chicken pox (2x). Could any of these have led to RRMS? Thanks for any light on this.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering what some of the causes were and if you perhaps were told of risk factors that could lead to not carrying to full term. I am sorry for your loss if you have experienced it, I know very well what a shock and emptiness it can leave and it changes you forever. Hope you can give advice so many women can be more informed.
Avatar n tn the chance your partner had HIV and the statistical likelihood of transmission based on the details of the sexual exposure. It is estimated that about 1% of the Dominican Republic population is HIV positive, which is substantially higher than in the US as a whole, but not much different than among African Americans in the US. The overall HIV/AIDS rate in DR is not as high as in the Bahamas or Haiti, and not nearly as high as in sub-Saharan Africa.

Avatar n tn This is because there are so many factors that can contribute to hypoglycemia -- stress, hormones, activity, what foods you eat, and a myriad more. So sometimes the hypoglycemia doesn't happen when you are being tested. But it is worth asking your doctor to check for. 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.
Avatar n tn My almost three year old son has had two hypoglycemic episodes in the last two months ... One on 12/23 and one yesterday morning, both of which landed us in the ER ... The first time - in December - he had a pretty severe experience; he was virtually unconscious, and his blood sugar (glucose? forgive me, I'm still trying to keep the lingo straight) was 18 ...
2088051 tn?1334542007 So I Was Diagnosed With Hypoglycemia When I Was 15.. I'm 18 Now. It Seems Like It's Gotten Worse As I've Gotten Older. I'll Eat.. Then Not Even An Hour Later, I'll Start Shaking. This Stuff Is Horrible. I Just Need To Know If It's Because I'm Not Eating Enough Or It's Because Of The Food I Eat. Help!
Avatar f tn Thanks for your question. Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar can indeed result in a headache and sometimes severe. https://www.migrainetrust.org/about-migraine/trigger-factors/hypoglycaemia/ You may find this treatment guide helpful as well. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hypoglycemia/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20373689. Are you having trouble managing your type 1 diabetes? I would talk to your doctor about how to keep your range at as consistent of a level as possible.
Avatar n tn I think she must do a complete study of possible causes of hypoglycemia, there are some other endocrine deficiencies, certain disorders of the adrenal glands and the pituitary gland that can result in a deficiency of key hormones that regulate glucose production. I would recommend her to do much more tests (when the glycemia is low) to find out (exclude) the causes (ex. of some tests: insulin , C peptide, cortisol, ethanol, Hemoglobin A1c ....) .
Avatar n tn The symptoms could be due to low or high BP, anemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes associated with pregnancy and many other factors. Please get this evaluated once by a gynecologist to put your mind to rest. Other than that eating healthy, going for walks, taking appropriate quantity of fluids etc all helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn Decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Increasing the amount of sugar absorbed by muscle cells and decreasing the body's resistance to insulin (insulin resistance). When blood sugar is lower, less insulin is needed, so the body makes less insulin. And when insulin is lower, the body produces a lower level of androgens.
Avatar f tn Following war trauma, Swedish soldiers serving in Bosnia and Herzegovina with low pre-service salivary cortisol levels had a higher risk of reacting with PTSD symptoms, following war trauma, than soldiers with normal pre-service levels.[16] Because cortisol is normally important in restoring homeostasis after the stress response, it is thought that trauma survivors with low cortisol experience a poorly contained—that is, longer and more distressing—response, setting the stage for PTSD.
Avatar f tn Now they want me to do a Stress test which I am not to thrilled with considering my neck hurts. I have no other risk factors besides beig a smoker. 5'2 and 125 lbs. no high choles, BP. I am being tested for Peptic ulcer and Reactive Hypoglycemia. Considering I hadn't eaten because of surgery I figured it was due to Electrolyte imbalance. I asked them to do an Echo first since I was in the hospital from the surgery and the nurses refused to call doc.
Avatar m tn Excess insulin may cause hypoglycemia and hypokalemia, particularly after IV administration. Hypoglycemia may occur as a result of an excess of insulin relative to food intake. As with all medication, discuss in detail with your doctor the potential risks and advantages of the prescribe medication, including side effects. Talk with the pharmacist too.
Avatar f tn Excessive birth weight. Extra glucose in your bloodstream crosses the placenta, which triggers your baby's pancreas to make extra insulin. This can cause your baby to grow too large (macrosomia). Very large babies are more likely to become wedged in the birth canal, sustain birth injuries or require a C-section birth. Early (preterm) birth and respiratory distress syndrome.
Avatar m tn Have you heard of a link between use of Cydex disinfectant and risk of developing COPD? Thank you.
