HI!
For the past 2 weeks I have been having attacks of real weakness and shaking that occurs when I haven't eaten for 4 hours or so. I feel so weak that i have to sit down immediately and eat something. after 10 - 15 minutes it passes. It is different from a normal panic attack and is not associated with hypoventilation or anything.
I find that anx. stops me eating and I have become very thin.much thinner than normal - could it be this?
I have done the dreaded thing and googled ' low blood sugar' and it has come back with loads of horrible reasons, diabetes/pancreatic tumours.although it has said nothing about feeling this just from lack of food or skipping meals..
Has anyone else suffered from this?
I know that i should go and see the doc but it is really, really difficult to get blood tests done in my area ( the only way is to go to the borough hospital and wait at least 2 hours) I dont' want to go charging down there stressing myself out even more if this is something that may just go away on its own. I am sure all 'hospital phobics' will understand!
any ideas would be much appreciated.. I am starting to 'fear it coming on' even when it is not there..as if i needed anything else to worry about!!
