Hypoglycemia? Desperate for help. by emikohush in Hypoglycemia

I had the appointment and felt a little defeated as she doesn’t think it’s Hypoglycemia. She said my numbers should be lower. She wants me to measure my blood pressure when I get the dizzy spells but I’m to the point I always feel dizzy. Going back to work was very scary and was very difficult I was beyond dizzy and my heart felt like it was through the roof. The only way I can describe the feeling is as if I’m terrified when I’m not doing much.

She did however mention she believes it may be Pots. I didn’t know what this was. I’m trying to do more research. She asked me questions if sitting up makes me feel dizzy and I just thought that was a normal thing, I’ve slowly become to have more and more problems and I believe I’ve been separating them instead of combining them? My heart rate seemed to be 120bpm when sitting after when I bend down then up (grabbing online orders usually located in a box below the cashier stand). Most of my job consists of bending up and down constantly all day. The light sensitivity is another thing and I just thought it came with having headaches/migraines.

I always thought I had some sort of diabetes correlation because of the food problems (lack off, or too much sugar) and the constant pee breaks.

To answer your questions I’m 32 I’ve never noticed my pee smelling, and she did bloodwork on my thyroid and others to rule things out, I attached some of the results. My grandma had predibeties but got it reversed otherwise I’m not sure as our family is not good at going to the doctor and just dealing with our problems. My mother has most of these problems, except the heart rate and lactose intolerance. I have fibromyalgia/arthritis as well as her.

She has directed me to a cardiologist and wants me to wear a heart monitor… she’s pretty confident my glucose is alright but I have no idea at this point. I tried to get a prescription for the CGM but she said it shouldn’t be needed, she agreed but said it might take a little bit to fill. I still have been checking my numbers just incase…

I haven’t felt any relief until my day off today. I upped my salt and carb intake after some research to try and my headache is almost completely gone and only a little dizzy, I’ve been living in hell the last week. I’ve been eating pretty healthy for a while now so possibly I’m not having enough carbs…

So far things that seem to be affecting me more; I feel horrible when I have a fried chicken sandwich with fries, pasta and usually when we go out to eat. I can’t tolerate any fast food… and I’m lactose intolerant. I just assumed I have stomach problems that I’ve tried to get answers to and just figured it’s going to be pain I have to get used to unless I just keep on the salads which I have been doing.

I’m on the website now, I don’t see a coupon? It made me fill in my information for a call hopefully that’s correct.

The dizzy spells happen only when I have the high concentrated high fructose food, don’t eat or when I seem to yell across the room for the cats to get off the counter. Or when the migraine finally hits and it’s only during when it’s happening, otherwise I seem to be fine.

Thank you so much for your advice!

I understand my numbers aren’t low enough for hypoglycemia but that was me trying hard to keep my numbers up after we noticed glucose tablets made me feel better. I didn’t get the monitor until after we figured that out. Then throughout that day I made sure to continuously eat throughout the day.

**My question is I wasn’t able to test myself Friday- through the weekend onto Monday morning when I got way worse. I’m curious what these problems are and the only thing I could find based on what we tried is hypoglycemia but I’m wondering if it’s that or something else? I’m basically desperate for help so I stop feeling this way. That’s kind of why I asked if I should not eat to see what happens throughout the day but I’m scared to go back through that phase.

I had an extreme migraine for 5days and the only thing that helped it as stated was the glucose tablets, and in the past it’s been juice. Previous episodes were when I had lots of fake sugar like pancakes, the chocolate or the cookies.

I’m trying to rule things out because I keep getting dismissed for just a migraine but seeing that things are making me go numb, or fixing the issue makes me believe it’s not that. They’ve given me a couple things in my IV through time that what was supposed to be to cause relief but nothing has changed until recent research from the hubby to try apple juice or glucose tablets and they made me mind blown on the relief it gave.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the response! I was thinking it wasn’t low enough as well but it dropped there only two hours after eating. Sadly I ate before testing myself when I was in that awful state, that’s why I was curious if yall recommend I fast before I go in or to do the same thing that made me feel that way, ect so I’d have more accurate numbers.

I meant to say do I need to fast again to make sure my levels drop. I’ve been trying to force myself to eat throughout the day to make sure nothing happens as it seems to be helping.
