Could Low Blood Sugar Cause Frequent Episodes Of Passing Out And Fatigue?
my daughter is 20yrs old. she has episodes of passing out. She currently feels very weak and as if she could pass out. She has been to doctors for this in the past. We were told she runs low blood sugar and should eat every 2-3hrs. Her weight is 125lb and she is 5 6. can you give me any more insight on this condition?

Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. I would suggest to get her blood pressure monitored as well. Low blood sugar can lead to passing out but there can be other reasons also. Having frequent light meals can help you overcome this condition and tell her to keep some sweet candy with her all the time. If you can tell her blood pressure, that would be appreciated by me. Thanks and you can ask me if you have other queries.
