Re: Low Sugar or Anxiety??
hi mate it sounds like you were having a pan attack to me especially if u went to hospital and they checked you out
Re: Low Sugar or Anxiety??
Sugar levels definitely make a difference to panic, I believe. If I haven't eaten I get shaky, dizzy, feel sick and a sense of 'impending doom'. So does my mum - and she doesn't have anxiety otherwise. A dietician told me to eat 6 small meals a day rather than 3 large ones, as that keeps the sugar level constant, rather than quick highs and lows. Also try to keep away from refined carbs, as these cause a big high then a drop.
I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with your blood sugar levels - mine are normal. I just have a fast metabolism, and have always suffered with the symptoms.
My sugar level symptoms aren't the sole reason for my anxiety - basically I have panic disorder which is not due to sugar levels, but the anxiety gets worse when I get the sugar level symptoms, just like it does when I drink caffeine.
Re: Low Sugar or Anxiety??
Thank you for taking the time to write that reply, i figured when ever my sugar felt low in reality it may not have actually been my sugar dropping but an anxiety attack before I ever knew about what anxiety attacks were
thank you
