[QUOTE="Reactive, post: 2092535, member: 510411"] At first I thought it was hypotension. But it carried on for 3 days and while I was in bed with normal BP and fatigue, I thought of it being hypoglycemia, ate a peach and was jumping up and down in 10 minutes. Which resulted in another, lighter episode a few hours later. When I have the “attack” I begin to feel anxious, irritable, don’t want to talk to people around me (remember I was normal 1 week ago), have palpitations, sweat all over my body in just a few seconds, dizzyness, nausea and light headedness. I can’t read well at those times and my speech is also effected, I slur or cut sentences short. I just feel like lying down and die. After the “attack” lightheadedness, weakness, feeling as if dying continues for 1-2 hours. Today my waking up blood sugar was 6.3mmol/L after 5 hours of sleep and 6 of fasting. I had one apple with cinnamon on it and a cheese omelette with 2 eggs. Post 1 hour measurement: 8.1 Post 2 hour measurement: 6.1 which looks perfectly normal? I felt a discomfort in the first 40 minutes after eating but I guess it was anxiety. This breakfast did not cause me trouble for the last 3 days but peaches did. Should I try to see if I am beter today by eating peaches and following my blood sugar? My liver function tests came up also fine. A little increase in LDH which was still deemed normal. My lipase level is also in the normal range. When the “attack” happened yesterday I was able to measure my blood sugar 10 minutes after as 5.1mmol/L but it increased to 5.5mmol/L 15 minutes after that measurement without eating anything in between. Is this normal? Could my sugar be below 4 when the attack happened and it went back to 5 in 10 minutes like it did? This is something acute I could eat however much and whatever I wanted last week. I wonder how much of it is related to the anxiety I felt at the first episode :( I don’t know what’s wrong with me and feel desperate... [/QUOTE]
