[QUOTE="Balf2015, post: 816548, member: 172419"] Hi all, I thought I would introduce myself as I am new to this forum. In the last couple of weeks I've been getting very dizzy on a daily basis - it seems to happen just when I've just eaten lunch. I had some blood tests and my doctor said that everything seemed fine and I had the opposite of Diabetes which he called 'Reactive Hypoglycemia'. This is the first time I've ever heard of it. He said that my body is too efficient at producing insulin that it gets rid of all the sugar and effectively gives me a 'dip' in sugar where I feel very dizzy and lethargic. I had never felt like this before and at first I was very worried about it and thought it was a virus, but it seems that becuase I have low blood pressure it's triggered these dizzy spells when I eat lunch. I wanted to ask if anyone on this forum gets these symptoms and how do they manage it? I was told to start eating slow releasing energy foods to prevent me feeling dizzy. I am a very sporty so I dont' want this to effect me too much so I can't do my exercise. if anyone can provide me with more information that would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Ems [/QUOTE]
