I am 20 years old and beginning in grade school I would feel sick to my stomach. People thought I was making up my illness to get out of class. Now at 20 I have had two diagnosises that are controdictory. This has also been hampered by the fact thati am diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.
I got worse while I was in junior high and high school, and I would frequent the nurse. When I was diagnosed with anxiety, I thought that was my reason. I am on medication, pexeva, and my anxiety symptoms are all but gone but I have more problems.
Here it is: I occationally get really sick. I will be shaky and I will feel like my brain is cloudy. I have gotton to the point where my speech was slurred. I will sweat a lot and my hends tremble too. Then when I eat, I feel better but I feel like I have after affects. I cannot eat sugar because when I do that I feel worse, even with juices. If I get really sick, I am out for the day with the after affects. I had a glucose tolerence test run when I presented my doctor with these symptoms and my thoery of hypoglycemia (this thoery was given to me by my aunt sharon who is a registered nurse). I took the test and my glucoe registered a 47 at it's lowest point but they stopped the tst because I got very "weird" and because my speech was slurring. I cannot eat breakfast in the morning because I feel sick when I do eat and then I feel like my symptoms come all at onc after I eat.
Here's the last parts of my problem: after the glucose tolerance test came back positive for hypoglycemia, I was sent to a endocrinologist, who gave me a 24hr in office fasting glucose tolerance test. My results were normal. He told me then that I did not have hypoglycemia and that it may be "neurological". I was very embarrassed considering the fact that I am diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
There was also an incident when I was volunterring at the hospital. I had only eaten a doughnut and then I ran around for a few hours getting people across the hospital and back. I felt aweful. I went in back and rested, and after feeding me juice with extra sugar added, I felt so aweful they took me to the er just upstairs. I felt nervous and I got an adrenaline rush. When I got up there I felt better and my glucose test, from a finger prick, was normal.
I am now confused. I know I have symptoms but with two doctors telling em sifferent and two tests giving me different stories, I am confused and desperate for an answer. If anyone knows anything, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :?: :?: :?:
