Has anyone else had one of these?
I have had a month of bad anxiety and have recently had to increase my Mirtazapine to help (15mg from 7.5mg). I have barely been eating for the last 4-5 weeks. Most days I only eat a banana, cereal bar and some soup.
Last night I had a sudden feeling of tingling lips and my hands and feet felt weak and my lower legs. I thought maybe it was anxiety but I had been watching tv, feeling relaxed and I wasn't hyperventilating at all. I ignored it and watched tv, but when I got up to go to the toilet I had a sudden feeling of weakness all over. My arms went like lead, so heavy and then I panicked, I was scared what was wrong with me. This caused me to go so hot, shaky, almost sick..... It lasted around 20 minutes.
I saw my GP today and he thinks my blood sugar dropped low and then I panicked on top of it.
It felt like the worst panic attack ever but much stronger and I couldn't control it. It has left me shaken up and I am scared 'what if it wasn't my blood sugar and I am going to be plagued by panic attacks that strong'.
MY GP said that the increase in medication wouldn't cause that, and I have been on the increased dose for 10 days now. He said he was sure my symptoms matched hypoglycemia and I needed to take it easy and eat little but often from now on.
Has anyone else had an attack of low blood sugar and felt like this?
