hypoglycemia vital signs

It involves taking what are called orthostatic vital signs. There are lots of missing pieces to this story. I suspect you were dehydrated. There is a communication problem between you and your physician. As Drnee stated: "the cause must be known for proper treatment". I would go back to your family physician and share your concerns.

I have been having hypoglycemia moments. Which that is odd. They have been coming about for the last couple of years. No, I don't eat breakfast (unless I'm in the mood--which is rare). I don't eat until around 12pm-3pm. When I do it? Its small & a healthy meal. I'm not big on sweets and/or foods containing a lot of sugar? Another thing I notice? I stay so thristy all the time & I have the dry mouth as well. So I was thinking maybe I am an diabetic?

From what I understand initial low blood sugar symptoms (that is the feelings as your sugar drops, rather than the symptoms that come about after suffering low blood sugar over an extended time) are a hormonal response your body puts out to tell itself your sugar is dropping and to do something about it. Those initial signs - the shakiness, the disconnecting feeling (almost dream-like disconnect) sometimes cold sweat, etc, can result from other things as well.

Really severe hypoglycemia can cause a person to completely pass out or lose control over muscles enough that you cannot get out of bed or walk. I have been there, done that, and it is terrifying. I keep a 6-oz. can of juice right by my bed at all times. It can just sit there, and won't go bad if not opened, but I know that if I wake up in bad shape, I can manage to pop the top and drink it even if severely low.

Hi, I have reactive hypoglycemia. One of the best websites to learn about hypoglycemia is reactivehypoglycemia.net. I don't think it's possible to grow out of hypoglycemia. I'm a teenager and I've had it since I was two or so. I really wish though!!

On a short term basis the mechanism for a need for water is to provide water to cells from the space that contains water. Vital signs may include postural readings (blood pressure and pulse rate are taken lying down and standing). With dehydration, the pulse rate may increase and the blood pressure may drop because the intravascular space is depleted of fluid. Low blood pressure and a faster heart is an attempt to get more blood volume into the system.

There is something that happened in the hospital that they can't explain. I don't know I think maybe about 9pm. The last thing I had remembered was going to the bathroom, then the next thing I knew I was in the icu. I asked what had happened and they told me I was completely unresponsive for 45 minutes, my breathing was very shallow to the point where they thought I wasn't breathing at all. They said my breath sounds were 97% diminished.

i had to go to an urgent care facility because i was not feeling well. my vital signs were as follows...blood pressure - 90/41. heart rate - 96. respiratory rate - 30. O2 sat. - 100%. also,my left hand was shaking violently was about 15 seconds. the only thing that the doctor told me was the i have anxiety and i should see a psych. i do not like doctors because they do not know my body. i know that i am not anxious. can anyone here tell me why my blood pressure is low and my heart rate is high??

As usual, Drnee is right on the money. The most probable cause is dehydration, and my two cents worth is to insure you take in electrolytes, such as Gatorade, along with water. You need to have what are called "orthostatic vital signs" taken. These are easy to do and a simple search on the internet will bring you up to date. Orthostatic vital signs are useful is identifying dehydration. The higher heart rate is usually compensatory, maintaining oxygenation with a depleted blood volume.

My doctor also prescribed me Glyburide. Looks like it is safe for pregnancy, you just have to watch out for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.

0 (72) is not considered low, but your 2.8 (50) is. Hypoglycemia is usually caused by too much insulin, too little carbs or a combination of the two. You don't say anything about your insulin regimen. Are you on a basal/bolus regimen? How do you determine your bolus (pre-mea) dose? The best way is by finding out what your insulin:carb ratio is so that you gear your dose to what you plan to eat. If you are going low BEFORE your meal, your basal (long-acting) insulin dose may be too high.

Unfotunately there are usually no signs of hepatitis C in the early stages. If patients complain it is usually about fatigue. What makes you think your test from a few months back is wrong?

The regimen may be aggressive, but not uncommon for a newly diagnosed patient. I do not know what your baseline lab values were (A1c, fasting blood sugars, etc..) But nearly all newly diagnosed patients start oral medications right away and some physicians are more aggressive than others because it is important to get diabetes under control as soon as possible to reduce risk of long term complications.

Hypoglycemia is generally considered to be blood glucose levels of below 50 mg/dL. Read the following list of symptoms; if this sounds like you, you may have this condition /1.Do you have a “food allergy” or frequent stomach upsets but you can’t pinpoint the cause? One of the first signs that your blood sugar is dropping can be feeling sick to your stomach. But a drop in blood sugar isn’t visible. Perhaps it’s lactose intolerance, you think. So you avoid pizza and lasagna.

I know you asked about high blood sugar, but I also wanted to share the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar from MedHelp.org and the Sugar Sense app, in case it helps you in the future. You can find these in the Stay Well section of the Health Guide in the app. http://www.medhelp.

It was weird, it only lasted about 6 seconds but I had to really concentrate to speak. My family has a history of diabetes and hypoglycemia. Has anyone heard of low blood sugar causing slurred speech?

Ever since I was 10 I've hd these spells and have been diagnosed for hypoglycemia but they are always befor or ater I eat. It come on so quickly and stong and they have been getting worse.

I have been having extreme bouts of hypoglycemia, back to back, making the ms feel ten times worse, was just wondering is there a link between having me, and suffering from frequent episodes of low blood sugar, especially in the morning?
