Hi, i am not currently diagnosed as a diabetic, but need some help.. I will try and keep my story brief.
About 8 months ago while walking the dog i blacked out during a very warm day don't know how long i was out , but i knew where i was straight away, 1 hour earlier i had just played an hour of 5-a-side football indoors, never ate much before and only drank 2 bottles of energy drinks to keep me going.
I visited my local GP the following monday, i have had ECG, EEG, Treadmill test, Heart monitor, and all have come back normal according to the hospital, i also had a panic attack during the night and went to the ER (i thought it was something else) they did a blood sugar test and further ECG's and said all was normal.
Since then i my symptoms have been lightheaded, dizzy on occasion, seems worse after caffeine (which i have stopped), plus during walking, playing football, i have had some lightheaded moments, these symptoms happen on quite a few days and leave me feeling fatigued and tired.
I am going to see my GP again soon, but thought i would see if these symptoms seem familiar to a diabetic, the blood sugar test they did was hours after my panic attack and i have not been tested again. I have many self-diagnosis ideas such as Anixety, Epilepsy, Diabetes but none seem to fit the symptoms people suggest, flashing lights on tv have a couple of times made me look away and got my heart pounding for some reason but never had a seizure.
I appreciate any help and understand theres no substitute for seeing a GP, but thought i ask anyway, thank you for reading this.
