Anxiety & Hypoglycemia

I have a long history of anxiety and panic but was doing great for over 20 years. I also believe I have had a long history of hypoglycemia and have gone on and off the diet many times - usually gave up because I was not feeling better.

This all came to a head because I took a few doses of an antidepressant to sleep and have had 15 months of severe adverse reactions symptoms. I am now wondering if the constant adrenalin release with hypo is why I am not recovering. This stress and anxiety alone can screw up BG.

So here was the defining moments: my wife fixed a huge meal like Thanksgiving - turkey with cornbread stuffing - sweet potatoes with brown sugar - dinner rolls - mashed potatoes and gravy and a slice of pie - and I got so sick 2 hours later I was ready to call 911. Went back into denial.

Then went to dinner and had bowls full of corn chips and salsa with not much protein in the dinner. Damn near had a wreck driving home and tested my BG - it was 250.

My wife is a sugar junkie and can eat donuts and high sugar coffee at 6 am and do perfect until lunch at noon. So he keeps sweet treats under lock and key - except I find stashes at times so I have been having a sweet treat after lunch and dinner.

OK fast forward. I have been having severe insomnia and waking up and not being able to go back to sleep so I go to a nutritionist. She says I need to build serotonin before sleep so she tells me to eat a huge bowl of muesli before bed - this one se suggested has rolled oats, barley and wheat with raisins and date pieces - I also added bananas and peanut butter.

I ate this for three months and started waking up at 1:00 am sweating, shaking, having panic and burning all over - and could not go back to sleep. By the time 6 am rolled around I was so agitated I could walk on water. This lasted all day even though we eat organically and always whole foods - we never eat processed and for the most part it si low glycemic.

I would love to talk to anyone who has anxiety and hypo both.

And by the way I went on a strict Adkins diet in 2010 and had non stop panic attacks due to low carbs - I AM CONFUSED
