[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2184468, member: 85785"] RH can have a variety of different symptoms depending on the patient, some are the same, some not, I don't get the nausea, but I get most of the others. The worst symptoms are the ones that effect your brain, typically brain fog, memory, forgetfulness, lethargy, tiredness, anger, rage, anxiety, depression, the constant headache behind the eyes, and of course constant hunger, craving, wanting to eat the fridge and cupboards! On top of this were what happens during the night, I would wake up and couldn't fall asleep again, whether it was insomnia or not, I suffered from this, it didn't help with trying to get through the next day. My other symptoms were terrible repetitive dreams. Not so much as nightmares, but different dreams repeated. These were in Technicolor, vivid, realistic, so real that they became more than that, dreams that were memorable experience and have stayed with me more than my daily life was back then.! They would usually wake me, sweating, breathing heavily, in pain, and could find myself on the floor. But again, these symptoms effect many endocrine conditions, it is due to how fast the blood sugar levels would quickly spike and drop just as quickly. The rollercoaster ride of fluctuating blood levels will cause most of these symptoms and going hypo can be dangerous! Have you ever found yourself, losing hours during the day? Found yourself somewhere that you shouldn't be? Lost and bewildered? Hypos can do this! The palpitations and nausea are usually when you are going towards hypo levels. Though everyone is different! You do have to be careful with medication [USER=513396]@Auto E[/USER] , because of the way they are made, same with antibiotics, I always have to have my meds lactose and sugar free. Most tablets have lactose in them! The worst ones are cold and flu meds, tons of sugar in them, I would recommend only taking paracetamol, first thing my endocrinologist told me about meds. If you are still getting hypos, then treating them is important, we can't treat hypos like T1s or T2s, because of the rebound effect of having too much glucose, it would result in more hypos! If I knew that my levels were going up, or going too low, I would take a reading, I would eat something as zero carb as possible, I would test again, I would go for a walk for about fifteen minutes, test again, eat a very low carb meal, test again. This should see you okay, walking always helps me, to control my levels. Hope this helps. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
