Which Specialist To Consult For Tiredness, Dizziness And Pain In Temple Area?

HI, For the last one month, I have been experiencing tiredness, sleepyness, dizzy and pain in the temple area. Got my tests done and my doc says that this is due to the rise in insulin and has advised me to avoid sugar or sugary food at all. Before the test he had given me some multivitamins but in vain, post test diagnosis, he has given me some medicine to control the insulin level I believe. However, its been a week now and I dont see improvement. I am worried. Please help and suggest which doc (specialist) i should consult for this issue. Regards Rajesh

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that you have higher than insulin levels circulating in your blood. This is causing the blood glucose levels to go below normal and that can cause problems like tiredness or dizziness. This if confirmed might be the opposite of diabetes where the insulin does not act on receptors. You should consult a doctor who deals with conditions of pancreas. They can be gastroenterologists or endocrinologists. They have to do certain tests to know the source of high insulin and few tests like insulin levels in blood and ultrasound and CT scan might be asked for. There are small tumors called insulinomas in the pancreas which secrete excess insulin and a search for such tumors is indicated. Insulinoma is a benign tumor of the pancreas in 90 percent of patients and removal of the tumor cures the patient of the symptoms. Please do not worry.
