Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I would like to know-
1) Your age and gender.
2) Are diabetic or not? If diabetic then What medicines are you taking?
3) If not diabetic then Are you obese? Is there unusual hunger? Any other medications are you on?

If you are diabetic and on treatment for it, in that case there is need for -
1) Consult your treating doctor as early as possible for appropriate changes in medicines.
2) Till that time -
- Stop taking antidiabetic medicines.
- Monitor your blood sugar level frequently.
- Use glucose water and eat at regular interval to keep your blood sugar level above 70.

If you are not diabetic in that case-
1) Consult endocrinologist as early as possible for further evaluation for insulinoma (insulin secreting tumour of pancreas) or other metabolic disorders.
2) Till that time -
- Monitor your blood sugar level frequently.
- Use glucose water and eat at regular interval to keep your blood sugar level above 70.

You symptoms of headache and low blood pressure are most likely due to low blood sugar level.
So maintaining blood sugar level above 70 may help in relief.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
Keep in touch.

Regards,
Dr. Abhay Mali.
Diabetologist.
