hallo, everyone and a relief to find this site. only found it as am too tired to do anything but sit down. bad day today. my name's fiona, i'm 54 and live south norwood, north of croydon. my probs began when in turkey, august this year.....
24 hours ago i was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycaemia which is kind of a relief as i've had so many tests i don't know if i'm coming or going.
so there i was in turkey, mid way through the holiday, when i began having this huge disinclination to eat, especially anything fatty. on the morning of the flight home i had this weirdy thing going on with my eyes and my heart wouldn't stop palpitating.
since i can remember i've always had tachycardia @ 96 bpm and i have high blood pressure, medicated for 5 years or so now.
anyway, these palps just got worse and worse. i teach SEN and 3 weeks into the term i just couldn't hack it anymore.
i had a 24 hr BP which shows my BP fluctuating really quite high and then really rather too low. i also had a 7 day ECG which showed my heart all over the place with up to 2000 ectopics daily. my cardiologist says it's benign and 2000 ectopics isn't all that much, but he's not sitting with it 24/7.
not to bore you with all the other stuff, i was referred to an endocrinologist who is just brilliant and who quizzed me at length. on opening my mouth it was dawning on me that as a lifelong binger on all things savoury, i actually can't get enough of haribo starmix, mint humbugs and fizzy lemonade. i had a 5 hour glucose tolerance thingy. yesterday he said my glucose had got down to 2.3. i'm new at all this but i gather that's not really very healthy.
i'd like to share my symptoms with you and far from wishing any of them on any of you guys out there, i really hope some of you share them!! :lol:
massive palpitations
erratic BP
indescribable fatigue
feeling of 'not being here'
instability on feet
night sweats
memory loss
poor concentration
indescribable fatigue
poor concentration
memory loss.....
feeling that i'm just going to black out (had one vasovagel syncope)
irritability. yes, irritability, so SHUT UP and listen....
panics
sense of being totally overwhelmed and certainty of impending death
vague agoraphobia
tearfulness
actually the list could be endless.
i guess the think i'd really like answered is are any of you guys out there with this hypo G working? i've not been back to school since 3 weeks into term as i just really am not functioning on many levels and i cannot envisage returning for many months. i just feel like, well, you know.
