''Idiopathic postprandial syndrome - a collection of clinical signs and symptoms similar to medical hypoglycemia(low blood sugar) but without low blood glucose levels.''
Have any of you ever heard of it?
I feel like i have this and its really been ruining my life. I've consulted with doctors and i've been checking my blood sugar for a few months. I've never found it to be low... Except for one time after exercise it was 4.1. So the problem is that i kinda have this idea stuck in my head that my blood sugar might be dropping and i might die... I try to eat regularly, but it doesn't always help. When i'm hungry i often get really anxious and i start to panic. Since the symptoms of low blood sugar and panic attack are almost the same:
Shakiness
Sense of weakness
Confusion
Fatigue
Anxiety
Paleness
Perspiration
Increased pulse or respiratory rate
i feel like i never know if i'm having a panic attack or my glucose levels has dropped. And i always eat if i feel like i'm about to have a panic attack. Just to make sure... And food gives me comfort.... One more interesting thing is that not long ago i had gastritis, i've been vomiting and i couldn't really eat. But i didn't get shaky or anything. I feel like its because i haven't felt that FEELING of hunger. Something about that emptiness when you are hungry makes me feel really anxious.
So, one part of me understands that i don't have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). But something in my mind tells me that maybe i am wrong. Every single day i still think that i can die just from not eating. And all of this has been going for about half a year... Because of this i developed severe anxiety, my panic attacks came back, i gained weight and i started to get more and more depressed. I don't really go out with my friends anymore. I don't go ANYWHERE alone. Because i'm afraid that something will happen or i will faint and there will be no one to help me. And its been like that for 6 months... Every day is a suffering but i really want to live a normal life. It's not me here. I used to love going places. I used to love everything about life.
I honestly don't know if i'm making any sense. Maybe i just need someone to say one more time that i'm healthy. At least psychically. It's like i'm obsessed with this blood sugar thing.. Because it's ALWAYS on my mind. :(
