Hypoglycemia?

[rainbow4321]

Is that what this is? Anyone else have these symptoms? My sis started with this a few months ago..she had never mentioned to me til I brought it up to her last night.

For about a month now I have been unable to go more than 3 hours without eating.
My stomach gets this horrible, churning hunger feeling, like I have gone 8-10 hours with no food instead of just 3...I get nauseated, and then start with this God awful overall panic feeling.

I then have to eat really quick. Heaven forbid someone be trying to talk to me if we are sitting down to have a meal..all I want to do is get rid of the horrible stomach/panic feeling and get the food that is on my plate INTO me.
I find myself having to keep snacks in my work bag or grabbing some crackers from the cupboard as I head to the car cuz I have that "feeling" starting again.

Doesn't matter how much I eat each sitting, the feeling comes back the 3rd hour post-meal. I've increased my snacking (healthy stuff) just to keep that panicky feeling away.

This is all new (and kinda scary) to me cuz it is the total opposite of how I used to be, food/hungerwise. It's like my body is burning up the food 100x faster than it used to. Poof...it's gone.

Thanks in advance!

1. it is low blood sugar.. usually have mood swings when you dont eat

need to be tested... could be something else.. if you have it..dont drink alcohol or you will go into insulin shock and die..!! stay away from sugar in any form.. it causes an insulin spike that will make you eat more which does the spike again and you ..etc, etc.. till you pass out in shock

2. See A Doctor

You can not be diagnosed over the internet. Your symptoms are not consistant with hypoglycemia, which are: headache, sweating, shakiness, irrational behavior, fainting.

3. Seconded, see a doctor

This can be a whole list of problems, none of them good, and all of them needing competent treatment.

4. let us know

when you find out. This happens to me, too. I have had a lot of blood tests re sugar levels, but they all come back as "normal range".
