Okie where do I start, it's a long story
but i'll make it short.
FIrst of all, please pardon my english as
it's my second language.
One day in April last year, I was working
and all suddenly I got dizzy. Went to the
ER and the lab results came back said that
I was healthy and prescriped me some
heartburn medications and sent me home.
Everything went downhill after that. At
my lowest point, I would wake up in the
middle of the night, hungry, cold, hot,
sweating, shaken. I was out of work for a
few months because I was always feeling
weak/hungyry all the time. I went to all
kind of doctors, 3
gastroentologist(spelling?), neurologists,
chiropractors, alternatives doctors. They
all said I was healthy and it was in my
head and I was having minor heartburn. I
was on stomach medications, anti
depresant, ect.. and nothing helped. I
had all kind of tests, brain MRI, chest
xray(many times at the ER), adbomen xray
with contrast, upper GI, countless blood
works, h-pylori test, HIV test. I lost
20lbs and I became really skinny because I
was thin to begin with. My head was
always worrying about why I wasn't feeling
well, basially I was a wreck
.
So I suffered like that for about a year,
there wasn't a day that I felt even close
to being normal. Of course I didn't know
what I was suppose to eat so within the
last year I went to the ER room 5 times
and my labworks always come back as a
healthy person. I finally stumble on
another health forum with a chatroom on
it, I spoke to the people there and they
are convinced that I was a hypoglycemic.
I thought in my head "oh what the heck,
eating more often like every 2-3hrs
instead of 5-6hr doesn't hurt". I did
that and I started to feel better and my
symptoms improved by at least 80%.
At this point I still dont' know the right
food to eat, I felt better from eating
more often but I ws still eating the wrong
kind of food. That sent me to my last ER
visit, which is 5-6 months ago. I was
getting ready for a road trip, that
morning I had some coffee and two donuts.
Needless to say, 1.5hrs into the trip,
while I was driving, all suddenly my body
felt really hot, feel the
tingling/something crawling under my skin.
I was feeling really hot but I wasn't
sweating. That lasted for about a minute
and it went away. I got scare and went to
a hospital that was 2hrs away from home.
Once again the bloodworks came back
normal, it says i'm a healthy person. It
wasn't until I met a lady and she told me
to stay away from foods that are white.
Try to eat complex carbs instead of simple
carbs. I then also found this site, I
learned a lot of things from here. I
never signed up for it but I always come
here and read.
Basically when I had it bad back then, I
had all the symptoms that many people here
have. The dizziness, sudden hunger,
anxiety(a lot of it), foul smell from the
underarm, you name it, I had it.
Thank you for reading my story everyone.
I just wanted to share it with you all and
hopefuly it'll help soemone who would be
in the same situation as I was. Before I
ask some questions, I like to thank Stan
for all the contributions he made for this
forum
.
Now I like to ask a few questions if you
dont' mind. I know I feel much better
than before but I think i'm not doing
something right. I still get light
dizziness throughout the day and the
anxiety still there. Please help me with
my diet.
1. I'm asian, I eat a lot of rice and I
know white rice is not good but how about
brown rices?
2. I started to take my BS readings a
week ago and monitor it very closely.
Even when I feel hungry, my BS never gone
below 80. THe highest was at 134 which
happened 1hr righta fter I eat. Is it
true that you can have a normal BS range
and have the LBS symptoms?
3. I want to implement yogurt in my diet.
I tried two different kinds of plain
yogurt and they have some sugars in there.
I do get hungry in the middle of the
night and had to wake up and eat if I eat
yogurt before bed. I think that little
sugar gave me a little crash. What kind
of yogurt do you recommend?
4. What kind of cereal is good for
hypoglycemic? I'm looking for something
with a lot of calories because I believe I
have a fast metabolism.
5. Can stress cause hypoglycemia? My job
has been very stressful during the past
two years. I dont' know if it has
anything to do it with.
6. Can I lift weight even I'm a
hypoglycemic? I always love to hit the
gym but LBS prevented me to do so many
times.
7. Sometimes I feel like there're ant
running under my skin on my back, my right
back to be exact. What in the world is
that? It doesn't happens all the time,
only here and there.
That's all for now, thank you everyone for
your help.
