Ruby, you must make an appointment and see your GP. It's very easy to scare yourself into having all sorts of conditions. Don't just come off your antidepressant because you may get a lot worse. There are so many other options for you, so explain how you feel to your doctor.

Hypoglycemia is controlled by a balanced diet and not by eating sugary things.

You need to eat regular meals throughout the day to keep the blood sugar levels stable.

Ruby as i said to you in pm.. even if these are hypoglacemic sugar drops you are having you dont need to eat more sugar.. in fact you need to eat less.. and more healthy balanced foods like protein and fibre..

If anything it will maintain a healthy weight not make you fat.

Its such a really common thing to have... so many people have it to different degrees.

Ive suffered hypoglacemia for years and years and can go for months when it causes me no bother at all.. When i do get it is when ive been silly and eaten lots of sugary stuff and nothing else.

Its really not as bad as all that..

There is also a good chance it could just be anxiety causing the symtoms.. anxiety attacks can also make you feel sweaty, shaky, weak etc.

Go see your dr for advice

Ok Ruby u need to just relax a bit I know ur scared but it's treatable - Yep Hypoglacemia is low blood sugars are you diabetic? on any kind of insulin? Diabetics and non diabetics can suffer drops in blood sugars - with a diabetic that's when its becomes a big problem - You said you could have it? Have you officially been diagnosed? You can buy glucose sweets from any chemist -or keep a mars bar with a bottle of lucozade in the fridge to take for a quick fix which will bring the blood sugars up. Some medications can cause hypoglacemia so it could be a possible short term side effect - If this keeps happening seek medical advice.

As Dee says keep sugary snacks available if you need to bring your sugars levels up quickly but ALWAYS eat a substanial solid snack within 10-15 mins of the sugary snack/drink or you will just get another drop later. ideal snacks are crackers, bananas, brown bread, proteins (peanut butter is supposed to be good)... any food that releases it's sugar slowly. Sugars come from most foods ruby not just sweets, chocs and fizzy drinks .. its the refined sugar in sweets etc that are best avoided unless its taken with or straight after a proper meal x
