Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Hypoglycemia

Sometimes I will get the symptoms of low blood sugar, even if its within an

hour or so

of eating. The last time was just this weekend, I ate breakfast (2

scrambled

eggs, 8 ox orange juice, 2 pieces of taost) and left to visit a nearby town

(45

min car ride) we started walking around and about 20-30 mins later I

started to

feel weak, shaky, and sweaty. After another 5 minutes or so i became

easily

aggitated and lost my temper. and my vision seemed a bit out of focus at

times.





There are times this happens not too long after I eat (like this past

weekend)

and other times I will not miss a meal or go too long between meals and

feel

this way. Obviously i know why it happens when I wait to long, but im

wondering

why this happens at times when I have eaten recently.



This happens at least 2 times a month that I get the symptoms without close

to when I have eaten, and it has been going on for a few months. When I

start feeling the symptoms they progress pretty rapidly from a sweat and a

but shaky to losing temper and at times feeling dizzy or like my vision

goes out of focus form amoment.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .


Your symptoms are suggestive of Hypoglycemia but without a documented Blood sugar testing at the time of these symptoms we can't just assume it to be Hypoglycemia.
This is because there are other conditions which can cause these type of symptoms . I advise you to buy a Glucometer , do the sugar testing by yourself at the time of your symptoms . Any value less than 60 proves that your symptoms is due to Low blood sugar but if it's not then we need to search for other causes of your symptoms .

Doing this test is necessary , if it comes as low blood sugars then we need to start evaluation for causes of Low blood sugars .

Kindly revert back for further discussion .

Any doubts or Queries feel free to ask.

Happy to help you.
