Re: path report and post-op aldo and renin

[Guest guest]

There's hypoglycemia, and then there's normal hunger. Mine would happen *after*

I'd eaten, usually within 40 minutes or so. Definitely not normal - but if you

haven't eaten in a long time and you get the shaky feeling, I think it's normal.

But if you've eaten recently - within the last few hours - and it comes on,

especially with those ravenous feelings, it's my experience that something else

is wrong.

Since my fructose- and gluten-intolerance diagnoses (and elimination of those

foods) and eating higher protein/lower carb, the " ravenous " attacks have almost

completely gone unless it's been maybe 6 or 8 hours since I last ate.

Not sure. Standard test is to do 24 be fast in hospital to document it. But I would just eat something if it gets better. Does it follow any particular type of meal. Try v8 to see if that helps. If so might suggest K prob. May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension

So, if not Hypoglycemia...what is it when you get really feeling shakey if not having eaten for a while? I get this on occasion and have tested my glucose. It is usally at the lower end of normal, yet I get this shakey jittery feeling that goes away if i eat. I am also usually ravonous at the time as well. ============================================================================45-Male-Caucasian, 5'9"- 242lbs, PA Diagnosed 2007 Suspected Hyperplasia-No tumors on CT - No AVS.Meds: 50mg Inspra, 40meq Potassium, 2400mg Calcium, 1000mg Magnesium, 100,000UI Vit D (weekly), 20mg OmeprazoleSide effects: Gynecomastia, stomach inflammation (from potassium citrate)Other Diags: GERD, Hiatal Hernia, Metabolic Syndrome -

Sounds like good judgment to me May your pressure be low!CE Grim MS, MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension

It never sneaks back in now if I can help it, but in the past it might have more often because I wasn't aware of things like restaurants adding sugar to, say, a chicken breast to preserve it. I stopped tracking my blood sugar years ago when I cut back on the carbs, so no, can't say that hypoglycemia has been documented. But I have had symptoms (mainly feeling really close to passing out) pretty much every time I've eaten a low-protein, high-carb meal even if it was fructose free - so, I've just avoided eating that way whenever possible all these years.

Hyperinsulinemia for some reason. Happens in alot of people. Probably more than we know, but we don't check insulin. We can, we just don't even when people like you report an issue. Our pancreas is a gland if it can slow down it can also speed up and over produceSent from my Palm Pre on the Now Network from Sprint

There's hypoglycemia, and then there's normal hunger. Mine would happen *after* I'd eaten, usually within 40 minutes or so. Definitely not normal - but if you haven't eaten in a long time and you get the shaky feeling, I think it's normal.
