Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and basically I'm just looking to find out about hypoglycemia because I'm fairly sure I have it judged on the symptoms I've read online.

In the past few months, I've noticed that I have episodes of trembly weakness when I haven't eaten for awhile. "Awhile" used to be 5-6 hours. now it's down to about 2-4 hours.

I get the trembles very badly, will sometimes start to have a lot of the same behaviors as a drunk person-- inability to focus, slurred speech, forgetfulness, and trouble walking a straight line.

Today, I was in a restaurant with my boyfriend waiting on our lunch. I hadn't eaten a proper breakfast, instead just had a Starbucks coffee. I started to feel really dizzy and headache-y and was about ready to strangle the waiter for not bringing the food faster. And then, I just started sobbing at the table. This is not typical behavior for me, mind you.

After I ate, the shakes stopped. I didn't feel well after, my stomach kind of hurt and I was very tired. And I still had the damn headache.

So, this has been happening to me a lot, lately. I feel super low on energy, am walking around with constant headaches (sometimes I even wake up with them) and I just feel like crap most of the time.

I know I should see a doctor, but I'm scared. I read that sometimes the hypoglycemia could be a sign of something worse.

I'm 28 years old, within my healthy weight range, with no other problems I know of. Hypoglycemia runs in my dad's side of the family.

I also should probably mention that 2 years ago I dealt with "stressorexia" as I like to call it, and dropped to an unhealthy weight. I dealt with these issues for about 10 months. I have since regained the weight back to healthy range but I don't think my metabolism has been the same since.

Anybody have anything to offer or share? I'm feeling really upset over this all...
