Hypoglycemia symptoms of heart attack
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia symptoms of heart attack
hypoglycemia
You probably had a vasovagal syncope or a vasovagal attack. The complex group of symptoms is mediated by the vagus nerve. This nerve is irritated by prolonged standing, standing up suddenly, stress, pain, hunger, dehydration, intense emotion etc. A tilt table test, holter monitor, echocardiogram etc are done for confirmed diagnosis. Discuss this with your doctor immediately. It could also be a fainting attack due to hypoglycemia or low BP.
Hello,
These are all symptoms of panic attack. Panic attacks are sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety, mounting physiological arousal, fear, stomach problems and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms.
Causes may be stress,anxiety,hyperthyroidism,hypoglycemia, Wilson's disease, mitral valve prolapse, pheochromocytoma and inner ear disturbances (labyrinthitis). Vitamin B deficiency can also cause panic attack.
Your husband could be suffering from postural or orthostatic hypotension in which the blood pressure falls on standing up. Other than this it can be hypoglycemia or vasovagal attack.
Since he also gets temperature fluctuations, the first things to be ruled out are thyroid disorders, adrenal gland problems, anemia, diabetes, hypoglycemia, liver diseases, low Vit B12, and vasovagal attacks.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
Hello,
These are all symptoms of panic attack. A panic attack is a response of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The most common symptoms may include trembling, dyspnea (shortness of breath), heart palpitations, chest pain (or chest tightness), hot flashes, cold flashes, burning sensations (particularly in the facial or neck area), sweating, nausea, dizziness (or slight vertigo), light-headedness, hyperventilation, paresthesias (tingling sensations), sensations of choking or smothering.
Since May 2009 I have been suffering from frequent attack of faintness feeling that also includes numbness of soft and hard palate and tonngue. I underwent MRI brain twice and MRI heart, EEG, EKG and other tests that I needed to be done. But there is no problem detected. My question is why I feel like so.
Yes, I have been to the doctor and got a full check up done, ruling out thyroid, heart/circulation problems, and hyper/hypoglycemia. My dr does belove that stress is behind it all.
We are not doctors on this Forum, but folks who either are parents of type 1 children or type 1 diabetic folks ourselves. Yes, your symptoms do sound like those of hypoglycemia, but an infection can also cause drenching sweats. When your body is battling an infection, stress hormones are released, and it is possible, I suppose, that your body is just not functioning at its best right now. Whether you have had mild hypoglycemia before or not, of course, we can't tell.
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).
m one) are sometimes sensitive to their blood glucose level getting on the low side of normal and get symptoms of hypoglycemia which are similar to what you are describing. Paxiled is right, you need to be tested for type 2 diabetes. Very simple to test and very treatable.
After some google-ing, I really suspect that I do have hypoglycemia as I have some of its symptoms such as rapid heart rate, trembling and others. To be exact, after consuming food my blood sugar level is around 5 to 5.5 only but when my stomach is empty early in the morning, my blood sugar level is around 7 to 8. I have not consult a doctor yet but I am under going some self control on sugar level as 7-8 is consider diabetic sugar level.
Mamamoorman,
Read the recent post by ValekVL and I do agree that blood sugar issues such as hypoglycemia can cause some of the symptoms you mentioned..but not all. Generally hypoglycemia doesn't resolve over a period of hours, it worsens, and as such, your husbands neurologic status would decline, instead of improving. I would assume that the doctor has checked your husband, Mamamoorman, for things like Diabetes.
Hi. Although your symptoms are suggestive of an anxiety attack, vertigo resulting from positional changes (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), Meniere’s disease, stroke, inner ear or vestibular problems, low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension) or sugar (hypoglycemia), increased body temperature (heat stroke) or inadequate heart output (e.g. cardiomyopathy or arrhythmias) should also be considered.
t experience any symptoms until there is heart failure (silent heart attack is the medical term). When heart cells do not get sufficient blood/oxygen there can be negrosis of heart tissue and that will impair the heart's pumping phase and heart failure.
I have totally blockage of the LAD, stented RCA and 72% blockage of the circumflex and calcium scoring (Agatston Methode): RCA, 872.2, Left Main 79.0, LAD 215.3 and total is 1207.1.
My mother died at age 66 of a massive heart attack. Is it possible that this episode is a symptom of heart disease or a pre curser to a heart attack?
I should also mention that during rest I felt fine. When I was up moving around or moving my left arm is when I felt the pain. Also during the beginning of the attack it was very hard to take a deep breath. This would make the pain worse.
If this was a heart attack or a symptom of one what steps should I take now that I am feeling ok?
went drs they said its summer and your probably havin an allergy or comming down with a flu,
next few days i began to feel dizy too, constantly, with shortness of breath, feell my heart beating all over my body, i checked my blood pressure it was much lower then it normally is, m heart was constantly racing above 120 for that day too, finally after a few days i fainted and was taken hospital, they checked my sugar level it was very low too 2.
