Am I Mild Hypo or a panic attack ? Skinny w/ fast metabolism
Posted: 08-24-07 20:03pm

Since I was about 12, I have had mild hypo ( nothing ever diagnosed ) and it never really bothered me or interfered in my life. I would just always be aware that if I started to get shaky, I needed to eat something and it would go away fast. Always skinny and fast metabolism.

Now I'm 42, and have some stress in my life and hypo symptoms seemed to come on worse. Not sure if this is mostly stress or is my condition getting worse? Panic attack or hypo? Thinking it was getting worse, I started the Krimmel plan diet and I'm into my 3rd week and feeling worse than I have ever felt in my life.

Went to see one endo this week & he said that because fatigue was my number one symptom ( especially after a crash), he thought I was not getting enough REM sleep at night. He suggested that I work on my stress levels so I get restorative sleep. Does this make sense? I am seeing another endo plus my GP next week.

Any insight greatly appreciated!

I bought a glucose meter - when or if should I test myself?

Doesn't sound like a panic attack to me.
I can't really help you but yoga really helps with stress.

More stress/less sleep can always worsen a preexisting condition. Tell us how the doc visits went!!
