hypoglycemia

Avatar m tn If it is arteritic then large doses of oral cortison are needed to get the sed rate down. The section on emedicine is especially good. If its non-arteritic there is no treatment for the eye problem and visual recovery is usually good. Again emedicine entry is excellent.
Avatar f tn I had a cortisol serum test of 10.6 ug/dl, morning. **Emedicine said this is indeterminate or suggestive of adrenal insufficiency. In my teens, my cortisol was said to be low. A hair mineral analysis showed the most advanced stage of adrenal exhaustion. My ACTH was on the high-normal end of the range. Vyvanse for ADHD helps me some with energy. ________________________________ What tests would best prove even mild underfunctioning adrenal glands?
Avatar m tn You might also do some online research to better educate yourself about your condition. Emedicine has a good article about CME related to macular puckers (aka epiretinal membranes.) Their suggested treatment for the CME invovlves peeling the pucker.
1654177 tn?1319838494 Hi everybody! In the past 3 months, I wake up in the morning and my feet are numb. After I get up and walk around the numbness goes away within about 5-10 minutes. I also urinate often and get fatigues (which may be normal, plus I drink a lot of water). 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).
Avatar n tn Probably a chalazion. Google that term and read the emedicine entry to learn more. See an Eye MD for a proper diagnosis and to get treatment. It could be something else. Find an Eye MD on www.aao.
Avatar n tn 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. I have known people with classic symptoms who surely suffer from this problem who have had negative results from glucose tolerance tests. This is because there are so many factors that can contribute to hypoglycemia -- stress, hormones, activity, what foods you eat, and a myriad more.
Avatar n tn t know much about pre-diabetes, however, I do know that hypoglycemia is a condition, in and of itself, that requires medical treatment. I have heard that some people with hypoglycemia develop diabetes at some point in their lives, but many do not. Hypoglycemia is a condition, according to my understanding, where your body metabolizes the sugars you eat very quickly, essentially leaving your body without the fuel it needs to run on.
Avatar f tn Chronic dizziness, fatigue, lightheadeness, nausea, extreme belching(sometimes hundreds of times a day), diagnosed last year with a rare form of hypoglycemia.. Reactive Hypoglycemia. I suffer random spells of tachycardia, & chest discomfort. Ive seen 3 cardiologists & had every test minus a heart cath(I tried to get thst, but told NO). Including: 3 stress tests, 5 holters, 3 echos, 5 ekgs & blood work 3 times since 2013. Nothing found other than mild pvcs, & tachycardia.
Avatar f tn t touch any additional problems with hypoglycemia. So hypoglycemia probably should be ruled out so it does not complicate the issue. If hypoglycemia is suspected, then you should try to keep some sort of juice handy and drink a small quantity if you start to feel "off" at all just so as to make sure that this is not the cause. I happen to be a tightly-controlled diabetic who occasionally does find myself hypo and I have learned to really listen to what my body is telling me.
Avatar m tn These are due to something called covert hypoglycemia. Intensive treatment to control diabetes by certain drugs leads to hypoglycemia which may not be recognised by the body. These hypoglycemic episodes are the cause of weakness and loss of energy.
Avatar f tn I have hep c and recently diagnosed woith hypoglycemia im very scared what will happen to me TY KRISTINE SMITH
Avatar f tn This has happened once 2 years ago, I would get hungry or really hungry for that matter at work and i would get shakey internally, sometimes i'd get very warm (I have panic disorder aswell so some of these symptoms could be associated with that) As soon as I eat, 10 mins or so the shaking stops. Not all the time I can get up and go eat at work. But in the past 4 months it's happened three more times. I was just wondering if this could be hypoglycemia?
Avatar m tn howeve,r now i have been diagnosed with diabetes tyoe ii. have i had this autonomic hypoglycemia all these years and if so is that a sign of diabetes type ii? i'm 65 years old now. thanks, bigdaddy601 This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/605077'>autonomic neuropathy</a>.
Avatar f tn What is the best, cheapest and most available treatments for hep c, and from your experience how bad off are you if the virus is affecting your blood sugar?
Avatar m tn s a very complicated disease and not easy to describe. I suggest you do internet search on WebMD or emedicine and see if you have any further questions. Starbursts are not a common symptoms in AZOOR and more suggestive of cataracts, cornea problems, need for glasses or new glasses RX or macular problems.
1770925 tn?1365618522 I have hypoglycemia for years and I don't eat sugary foods or fried foods. I eat small meals 6 times a day. Fruit and vegetables and soy products. Just fish etc. I am just saying that small meals often is the way to go with hypoglycemia.This eating regime helps my sugar stay level and not low, but if I stress the sugar drops and ginger helps me. I am not on any medication. See your Dr for advice.
492869 tn?1285018933 MedHelp has done an amazing job with all of the various trackers. I would like to recommend a couple of additional features for the trackers already available to us. For the blood pressure tracker: Many within the Dysautonomia community use medications like: Pyridostigmine, Ritalin, SSRI's, SNRI's, and Theophylline for treatment. Could a couple of the more common off-label treatments for low blood pressure be added to this tracker?
973741 tn?1342342773 Within this link on Emedicine it has some information about the subject. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/251834-treatment A further search through that site which has clinically accurate information but as it states wouldnt' substitute for a doctor's advice might be of help as well. If this was indudced as part of a medical procedure there are specific follow up protocals. If nothing has worked out perhaps a further specialist in the field might of help.
Avatar f tn To expand on Bill's info... If you are experiencing hepatic encephalopathy then you must have advanced liver disease. You should be under the care of a hepatologist, preferably at at liver transplant center. They will be familiar with treating the symptom of HE (and other complications of decompensated cirrhosis) and in accessing the level of HE. Treatment: Lactulose is considered "the first-line therapy" for HE. It is used to produce 2-4 bowel movements per day.
Avatar n tn The other term for Reactive Hypoglycemia is postprandial hypoglycemia. It is no longer diagnosed using the glucose tolerance test due to the number of severe reactions. I hope this helps.
956433 tn?1255977108 good eating habbits are key in treating BOTH anxiety and hypoglycemia separately...that's no different if you have them both together. while there are many routes in treating anxiety...all of those routes are aided by good diet. i've yet to hear of one thats aided by a poor diet, but i suppose all is possible...though certainly not probable. obviously the frontline treatment of hypoglycemia is good diet. with this in mind, it's reasonable to assume good diet can only benefit you.
