[QUOTE="SwishRadish, post: 2558145, member: 562731"] Not exactly at the point of the drop but straight after and when the feelings are lasting long my heart rate jumps up to about 90-93 (resting is 72-80) with a normal beat (I have a Kardia device to measure) my blood pressure shows slight elevation. When these episodes started happening I was over the a&e every day for two weeks and they said they didn’t know what was happening but I was losing the control in my arms really bad, I couldn’t hold a pen, this was around Christmas last year. Then the stroke team put me on a tiny does of bisoprolol to slow my heart down and I feel like all that has done has masked the first sign of RH. The cardiologists have ruled out an arrhythmia with various holster monitors. The weirdest thing I am finding is if I have a bad drop sometimes I can feel the gravity pulling and confusion for hours after, it’s like waves of up down up down. Although I have been considering asking for a loop recorder to be fitted in my chest. Before I suspected RH I thought it was my heart pausing but when I had the monitors on I had episodes as I didn’t then know it was food related so I didn’t adjust my diet and they didn’t show any events. I have noticed that sometimes my BG will drop from a 7.3 to a 5.2 within the space of 10-15mins sometimes. Does that seem sudden? I feel as if I am on a rollercoaster when that happens. Sugar definitely helps whatever is going on but I have to micro dose it right or i yo yo. Yet sometimes I feel a yo yo effect when I am within the normal range. Could I be noticing a rapid drop for 7 to 5 maybe. And then it keeps going back up to a 6 and down to a 5 quick? I’ve just turned 30. Female. No other health conditions. [/QUOTE]
