I used to starve …
I used to starve myself to make weight, so I’ve had this once. yeah, I felt weird, most spacey.
….you are such a …
….you are such a wonderful dr!!!
brilliant!!!
this is such a great video!!! So insightful!!
I have been …
I have been hypoglycemic since I was a child… undiagnosed until later in life. It got worse and worse. Eventually I asked for the tests on my own because no doctor was guiding me in that direction. Anxiety, panic, I know all about it. You think that you are going nuts until you get that blood sugar under control. What a difference knowing makes. I was able to alter my diet and regain some control over my life. Thanks for posting. Many people have no clue about this.
The other point is …
The other point is that anxiety and depression often cause a lack of appetite (fight vs flight response wanting an empty stomach) which results in low blood sugar, which causes aniety… so self perpetuating cycle. That’s what happened to me to some extent before I was treated properly for my depression a few years ago.
Dehydration and …
Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance causes panic too.
I had full blood …
I had full blood work to rule out issues with blood sugar. I still get anxiety and social phobia. Still get mild depression.
Hmm I wonder what …
Hmm I wonder what the DOCTOR eats everyday!?
Do you think you …
Do you think you can worsen hypoglycemia with fish oil since it increases insulin sensitivity?
Fascinating…High …
Fascinating…High blood sugars are definitely the enemy, and yes, I know firsthand, low blood sugars can FEEL like an anxiety attack.
yes, my mom was …
yes, my mom was talking about the twinkie defense because of that movie “Milk” about harvey milk, the guy that was murdered..
what would one do …
what would one do who’s medical doctor says “Get your depression treated before I address diabetes” while the psych doctor says, “You have to have diabetes treated before treating depression” ??
are u still sick. …
are u still sick. careful with the swine flu. yep…
yes frequent small …
yes frequent small snacks its more common in a woman for some reason however but i like your idea
yes see my vid …
yes see my vid called seizure
good for you
good for you
Thats really …
Thats really interesting about blood sugar. I had never really thought about it having an impact on anxiety issues. I’m not diabetic, but I’m thinking about changing my diet to help with my panic attacks.
i was misdiagnosed …
i was misdiagnosed with hypoglycemia as a teenager..i have epilepsy, and i was wondering if there is any correlation between epilepsy and mental illness?
i refused Zyprexa …
i refused Zyprexa because of the number of people who develop diabetes.
excellent example.. …
excellent example.. frequent small snacks or a little sugar packet or glucose tablet in the purse is good to have….one time there was a code blue in the hospital and i got her chart and ran to her she looked dead in the hospital bed, but i figured her sugar was zero what could i lose so i opened up a packet of sugar and put it in her mouth and she like woke up from the dead…wild i will never forget,… thanks for sharing x4592
I remember I passed …
I remember I passed out right before lunch in the cafeteria last year, from what I thought was a panic attack. Several days later I passed out with my friends before dinner. I got a blood test two weeks later and passed out during that (I’m not afraid of needles); it was a fasting blood test. That’s when they diagnosed me with hypoglycemia.
thanks chocara1
thanks chocara1
yes thats correct …
yes thats correct thats a great point, of course i am always used to seeing only very sick people but indeed a big bolus of sugar can make one also have a variety of symtpoms: anxiety, irritablity, confusion, bizzare behavior remember the twinkie defense: someone actually was homicidal and blamed it on the twinkie cupcake and won the case or something like that
I will probably …
I will probably sound stupid, but, you don’t have to be diabetic or hypoglycemic for your blood sugar level to alter the effectiveness of a med? Can just ingesting alot of sugar cause anxiety and irritability?
Hope you feel …
Hope you feel better. Great video.
yes: confusion, …
yes: confusion, panic, anxiety, bizzare behaivor, derealization, depersonalization, aura, visual symptoms, even psychosis—any or all of these can occur during hypoglycemic episode…
