Hi, first ever post-accidently posted it in stomach problems should really be posted here I think.

Bit of a short story here, I have been feeling under the weather now for a month. It all started when I was out for a run, early morning, no breakfast, felt like I was going to pass out. Doctor thought it may be a case for hypoglycemia. So Blood tests were done and slightly low sugar level found. bp also fine.

This is where my problems have started, feeling dizzy, faint, anxiety, depressed, worried,no energy, shaking.(Even although I have been to hospital to do alll the main tests after i got myself in to a panic).

All my life I have had to watch what I eat, persisting stomach pain, Indigestion. Dry mouth. Any sugar taken causes dizzy spells.

I have smoked for 5 years but now stopped, forced too if i'm honest, due to the way I've been feeling over the last month.

My gp has said it is a virus , and that I should rest and drink plenty.
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar????
Any opinions ideas welcome?

Have you changed your diet?

Have you looked into a hypoglycemic diet?
