Question about this spell I am having

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I have a question. Here lately I have been having random spells. I

start getting hot a little and shaky. I also feel like I am about to faint. I

get

really dizzy and get a headache. I was walking around Walmart and this

happened. I was near the blood pressure machine and my pressure was good. I had

check my blood sugar level right after another spell and it was good.

So any advice. A lady at Walmart was right beside me during this spell

and she told me she did this when her blood was low. Could this be something

like this?

Somebody help )

Thanks,

Christy

Hi Christy,

I get that way if I don't eat something (usually protein) every 2 hours. You

might try & carry something with you, like jerky, protein bar, nuts, string

cheese....something easy & see if that helps you out some. Or if you might want

to see your doctor & have them check you out. Either way take care.......Barb

Yeah that and water are you getting enough water???? Are you taking your

vitiams? How long since you ate, could you have been dumping?

it may be low blood sugar, but if you tested and it was fine, then perhaps not.

Had you eaten or drank (that grammar sounds awful...let's try it this way...)

Did you have anything to eat or drink 20-60 minutes prior to the spell?

It may be as simple as hormonal flux as you are losing weight, but if it

continues for more than a few days, contact your doctor and let their office

help you out.

Hey Christy!!

I have these exact symptoms and my blood sugar is low. I know you

said you had yours checked but you might try to eat something every

3 hours and see if it helps.

Example of what I eat –

Breakfast – 2 eggs

Snack – ½ a protein bar or a 3 to 4 bites of tuna

Lunch – chicken salad on low fat crackers some type of fruit ½ an

orange or apple

Snack – the other ½ of the protein bar or 3 to 4 bites of left over

chicken salad.

Dinner what ever I make or my family. I usually have a meat dish

with a veggie and fruit.

Snack – S/F pudding or something tasty….. LOL I know I shouldn't so

close to bed.

Try having a small snack; it doesn't have to be a big one. See if it

helps.

Good luck sweetie!!!

Hugs!!!

These spells happen to me to and it was definately low blood sugar. My husband

is a diabetic and he has a glucose meter and he has tested my sugar during a

spell. My sugar level has dropped as low as 35 which is dangerously low. I

immediately eat something high in sugar content..like spoonfuls of sugar or oj

if it is available. My spells are triggered by consuming too much sugar..so I

have to watch it. My pancreas must spit out too much insulin when I consume

lots of sugar and then I end up being weak, blurry vision, sweaty and

disoriented. And sometimes these spells just come on for no apparent

reason..without even consuming a lot of sugar. I am currently being looked at

for hypothyroid..I have many of the symptoms but I have not yet gotten back my

test results.

good luck

This isn't really my expertise, but isn't that a lot like hypoglycemia? I have

heard of one of the possible side effects of surgery being hypoglycemia...just

curious.

That's what I thought to but I check sugar and it was really good and normal.

So it surprised me. I am getting my results Monday I guess to see what is

going on. It snuck by me today (I forgot to get them) So Monday I will know.

I havent had my surgery but have attended sup[port groups and one

lady expressed similar syptoms and it was because she was lacking

enough protein.You should contact your doctor or surgeon if it was

not that long ago that you had the surgery. And if you had the

surgery how do you consume a spoonful of sugar? I dunno like I said I

have not had this surgery and I know different things trigger

different people...that is what tests are for. As for hypothyroidism

I have that and my symptoms were increased amount of unexplained

weight gain,fatigue,depression, hair loss, bad skin, just to name a

few. I am currently on 225mg of levothyroid just to get by the day.

Anywho just thought I would do my random post...have a nice day.
