Ok Everybody, so it finally happened. After 2 years of being free of any major Panic Attacks, I started feeling lightheaded and panicked. I left work after a couple of hours and went to the hospital because something wasn't right. It didnt feel like the PA that I had experienced before Throughout the day I've been having mild lightheaded and weak spells, hunger and shakiness. All this led to believe that I could be suffering from Hypoglycemia. around 6:30 last night I bought a blood glucose meter and tested my blood sugar (this was 4 hours after my last meal) and it came up 96 which is normal, then I had a coke and started to feel better and tested it again which came up at 149. but something was not totally right so I called my brother and ask him to drive me to the hospital, along the way I tested my Blood sugar again and was 91.
Still I was feeling, weak, hunger, shaking uncontrollable. after the doctors performed various blood tests they said that their nothing wrong with my blood and the anxiety can do this type of thing.
Feeling relive I came home and went to sleep.
This afternoon I was checking up on Anxiety and I came across this: Idiopathic postprandial syndrome

stprandial_syndrome
Basically its a type of syndrome where people are experiencing Hypoglycemic symptoms w/o actually having Hypoglycemia, is states that the effect those with anxiety issues, such as us. Needless to say that this sounds exactly what I was going through
I cant seem to find any other good information on it. Had anyone else experienced this. If you do is some that will decline after your anxiety gets under control or is it something I have to deal with now in the long term? Also can it be fatal like Hypoglycemia?
