hypoglycemia

2154088 tn?1336592380 My dog has been having the symptoms of hypoglycemia for most of his life, which have started becoming severe lately. He has a serious food aversion from an illness he had as a puppy, so he tends to miss meals and be an extremely picky eater (an issue we are constantly working on). There are times he may go without eating much for nearly 24 hours and when this happens I give when Nutri-Cal or a product called Stat.
Avatar n tn They are absolutely wrong in saying that hypoglycemia cannot cause seizures. A very severe low like the one your son had CAN indeed cause seizures. And those seizures stop as soon as the blood sugar levels are normalized. Usually, some twitching of muscles, sometimes shaking hands, sometimes twitch to face, happens first, so watch for those symptoms. I would suggest that you look very carefully at his diet, avoiding all high-glycemic index foods and caffeine.
Avatar n tn my 6 year old daughter has been having unknown seizures since she was 2 years old. she does not get them that often, but she does definately has seizeres and has had every test done to try to find out the problem. she has seen a specialist twice and she has had a blood test. but will hypoglycemia always show up on a blood test? because when she has had her blood tested, it has been at times when she feels fine.
Avatar n tn In some patients, symptoms of hypoglycemia occur during fasting (fasting hypoglycemia). In others, symptoms of hypoglycemia occur after meals (reactive hypoglycemia). Drug-induced hypoglycemia is seen with the inadvertent or intentional overdose of insulin or oral medications used to lower blood glucose. Blood glucose-lowering pills and insulin are medications used to lower the abnormally high blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus.
1523917 tn?1302215871 Ok. I just recently found out that I'm hypoglycemic. I have a pretty good primary Doctor. But I want a second opinion. She said that with my hypoglycemia, I have the symptoms, but don't need medicine for it, I just need to eat every 2 to 3 hours. So, is that right? Do some hypoglycemics not need medicine to control it? Also, I'm terrified that I will go into a coma or have seizures...
Avatar f tn The symptoms you are facing could be due to some types of seizures, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, gastric reflux or due to PCOS or adrenal gland problems. These could also be panic attacks and often the person who goes through them is unaware of his being under any kind of stress. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Avatar n tn I copied and pasted this post from a question in the archives. I thought maybe it could help you and your husband with not recognizing the lows. As for long term effects I do not know. I think it is a bit off that he would not have any sort of responsiveness even when his blood sugar was 167. Maybe there is another problem going on and the advice given about being examined further by another doctor is a good suggestion.
Avatar n tn s why I think i may have hypoglycemia. I think my fear of seizures while having my panic attacks comes from me knowing that hypoglycemia can cause seizures. I also occasionally see a little sparkly spot in my vision, and sometimes i see weird kind of sparkly diamond-like patterns when i wake up. My panic always starts anywhere around about 8:30am to 10:30am while i am in school, and lasts anywhere from about 10 minutes to like half an hour. Fresh air and snacks help.
Avatar n tn Please clear this up for me. In your website, it says that prolonged hypoglycemia can cause seizures or loss of consciousness? By "prolonged" do you mean within the moment or do you mean prolonged meaning as in years? I hope you mean in the moment because one has hypoglycemia for life,right?Also, that doesn't happen often does it? If your blood sugar drops and you eat,and then feel better, that stuff should not happen right?
Avatar n tn He s doing a lot better about taking his BS more often but he is possibly still approximating the carb counts ( I think that may be where he is messing up occasionally). He also has seizures with the lows, not every time. I have to call the ambulance about once a month or once every 6 weeks. I have another son who lives two hours away and now has a baby. I feel like I cannot go there because I need to be here for my son Zack 28.
Avatar f tn An intravenous blood sample to test your blood sugar level at the time of these signs and symptoms is the only way to know for sure that hypoglycemia is the cause. It's my guess that's what it was and after you ate the apple you felt better. Please see your doctor just to be sure!
Avatar n tn Also if some glucose or candy helps in controlling it, then it’s most likely due to hypoglycemia. It could also be seizures. Consult a neurologist. A negative EEG does not rule out seizures. Also take a video recording of the tremors with you to the neurologist. This would also help in diagnosis. I would suggest you get the blood levels of the following checked if they have not already been checked: potassium, calcium, sodium, vitamin B complex, or vitamins B1, B3, or B6 and Vitamin D.
Avatar n tn I have had a lot of problems with hypoglycemia during my sleep. My boyfriend often finds me having seizures in my sleep and I wake up in an ambulance with no recollection of anything. I recently moved in to my own place after I broke up with my boyfriend but now I am scared if this happens and no one is there to help me, what will happen? Is there a chance that I can die from this?
Avatar f tn s have hypoglycemia and seizures. But when i have looked up the symptoms of them both these do not match. Can anyone help me with maybe more info about it??
543578 tn?1214412007 t necessarily mean that he is epileptic, since chihuahuas are VERY prone to hypoglycemia, which can cause seizures. It might not amount to you having to give him an anti-seizure drug every day, if it's caused by hypoglycemia you can combat the seizures by giving her several small meals a day instead of feeding her once a day as you would an adult dog.
Avatar f tn These are vague symptoms for hypoglycemia. I would see an Endocrinologist and have some bloodwork done.
Avatar n tn it seems that his warning symptoms for hypoglycemia are not good right now. He should be feeling himself get low, and his body should be giving him enough warning that he wakes up on his own if his glucose levels drop low. He can regain good warnings if he starts to test very often for about 2 weeks, like every 2 hours, and he catches lows before they get significant this way.
Avatar m tn The neuroglycopenic symptoms usually include lethargy and malaise, but may include unresponsiveness or seizures. The principal symptoms of ketosis are anorexia, abdominal discomfort, and nausea, sometimes progressing to vomiting. If severe, parents usually take the child to a local emergency department, where blood is drawn. The glucose is usually found to be between 35 and 60 mg/dl (1.8-3.1 mMol/L).
Avatar f tn I'm curious if anyone else has hd similar symptoms as me. For the last few months I have been having. These uncontrollable shaking episodes due to overexpossure of chemicals. I have gone to my doctors,endo, neurologist, pcp, etc, and the tests have come bacck completely normal. I have a friend who also has MCS, multiple chemical sensitivities, and she has seizures because of it. My friends and family have said that my epiisodes are just like hers.
328381 tn?1269364102 However, this presumptive diagnosis would only be suspected if the bloodwork, fecal, urinalysis and survey radiographs came back normal. The clinical symptoms we see with seizures are rather diverse from no fever, increased eating, ataxia (uncoordinated), barking, salivation, weight loss, blindness, behavior changes, tremors, increased drinking, disorientation, circling, convulsions, collapse, inappropriate urination, etc.
Avatar n tn The clinical features of this tumor are related to the effects of insulin-and thus primarily demonstrate symptoms related to hypoglycemia which are relieved by food intake. Other general symptoms include episodic sweating, tremor and rapid heart rate, as well as hunger, nausea, weight gain, and sometimes even central nervous system symptoms (including rarely, seizures)." Perhaps these websites can help you find more information on how to deal with this condition.
Avatar m tn Many things can cause passing out. Seizures is one of them, but diabetes, hypoglycemia, and heart problems can also cause fainting.
Avatar n tn hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, and it is increasingly prevalent in our society. Hypoglycemia can cause an array of symptoms, including spaciness, fatigue, mood changes, PMS, sugar craving, headaches, difficulty focusing the eyes, tremors, temperamental outbursts, depression, excessive sweating, hot flashes, palpitations, cold extremities, abdominal pain, and panic attacks.
Avatar f tn For the past year I have been having what I thought were allergic reactions and I have used over the counter Benedryl and my symptoms would disappear in about ten minutes. Symptoms were first itchy palms,flushing and feeling dizzy and light headed.This always occurs after eating breakfast- usual food is yougurt, fresh fruit and granoila with a few almonds and a made at home latte. I've had foods checked out by an allergist and not allergic to those foods.
