Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms (dizziness and trembling) after sugar intake could be related to glucose intolerance.
Anyway, PTSD could also influence in this clinical situation.
Coming to this point, considering also your past seizures, I would recommend performing some test:
- fasting glucose and HbA1C
- glucose tolerance test
- blood electrolytes
- thyroid hormone levels.
You should discuss with your doctor on these tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
