Possible Hypoglycemia?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have had some problems for the past few years and couldn’t find any of my

doctors to give me any suggestions about causes except maybe side effects from

bipolar medications. However; today I was visiting with fellow member Elly and

suggested something I thought of the last couple of days and she said to look it

up. It looks like it COULD BE Hypoglycemia. I know my father has this and I

don’t know if it’s hereditary but thought I would share symptoms with you

all because it can sometimes be caused by liver, spleen, endocrine or other

physical changes or illnesses, as well as dietary habits, some medications and

or if one has it, exercise can cause an episode as well.

When I first had problems it was extreme sweating. I mean like soaking wet off

my face, hair to where people would ask in the store if I was alright even

without heat. Then at times I would go for periods of anywhere from hours to

days of sleepiness like someone had drugged me excessively to even

unconsciousness. This happened again two months ago for just about 12 hours and

then again the past two days and when I started wondering if perhaps I was

hypoglycemic and I did feel better when eating something sweet.

I use a freebie site so am going to get another glucose monitor, I sometimes get

them for in-law members with diabetes, and check my sugars when I have the next

episode. The Medline site said it doesn’t always show up on labs because one

may not be having a drop at the time.

I’m sharing in case others may have the same issues?

Regards for a good day,
