Hey all seems to be going well with my
hypoglycemia, accept I have noticed the
last few months my chest kind of flutters
its kind of feels like a heart palipation
wich is a symptom of hypoglycemia, and
feels like something is been released
through my air ways . My dr says my heart
is fine so thats not the problem.
Ive been reading and see anxiety can be a
cause of this?
What do u guys reckon?
It comes an goes, some days I dont have it
at all, and some days I get it for a while
then it goes away.
Maybe somehting im eating causes this?
I read caffiene is another cause but I
havnt had any for 4 months.

Most likely all of this is related to the
blood sugar. Remember, several months
may go by before you notice significant
changes, depending on how you're eating.
I've had this a few times in the past when
my symptoms were bad. A good rule of
thumb with hypoglycemic symptoms, is to
never worry about them unless they persist
consistently for a period of at least
three weeks, even four might be better.
You'll find this never happens, they come
and go in days. This is all the sugar,
if something persists every day or nearly
every day for the time period I specify,
then it's time to see what else is going
on.

Its been coming and going for about 3
monhts id say
some days are worse then others
it usually happens for about 2-3 days at a
time. Ive been reading on the internet
and seems it could be some food
intolerance doing it to me.
I am gluten intolerant, so ive been free
of all gluten, so im not sure what other
food it could be from.
Not that this has only started since I
have been cutting out alot of sugar from
my diet.
Never had this problem at all last year.
Its also feels like indigestion, then I
get the palpitaions flushes, it seems to
come and go during the day, when it comes
it last for a few hours. Then will
completely go away. Thats why I think it
has to be related to something im eating

Hi,
one of my main symptoms are palpitations.
I only started getting my hypoglycemic
symptoms when I tried to have a healthier
diet and gave up sugar completely. I
guess it was too big of a shock to by
system.
Do you experience this chest sensation
between meals? Are they relieved at all
by eating? Keeping a journal of food
eaten and your symptoms are a good way of
finding a link whether it is low blood
sugar or allergies.
Hope this helps.

Indigestion and weird digestion problems
are typical hypoglycemic symptoms. They
will come and go. I never had them until
I started the diet, and they came on when
I did. I'm not sure why, but I can tell
you it's a sign things are starting to
change for the better in your body. It's
almost like the digestive system is
rejecting the diet because it doesn't want
to have to work for its sugar, or, as I
think, perhaps the brain is shutting down
part of its digestive control like it does
with other parts when it's evening out
sugar levels as they drop. Not sure, but
it's a typical symptom and most likely has
absolutely nothing to do with intolerance.
If you want to check intolerances, you
have to at least use the structure of my
diet, not eating the same thing for four
days, that way you can clearly track what
happens based on the type of food you eat.
It takes awhile, but if you have any
intolerances you'll find them this way.
If you don't eat the same thing for four
days, you'll figure it out, but if you do,
you'll figure out nothing. You always
have to be consistent with this, no
messing around otherwise you'll never get
anywhere. So yes, it is related to
eating in the sense that this is very new
for your body, I sincerely doubt you have
a food intolerance. They're quite rare,
despite opinions about it, and there are
usually a number of other physical
symptoms that you don't mention and the
sensations don't just come and go, they're
consistent. Like everything else that
doesn't deal with hypoglycemia. This is
a rule of thumb, hypoglycemic symptoms
fluctuate. Why they do what they do i'm
not sure of most of the time, some are
clear, others, like the weird digestive
bloating I hear about frequently, seems to
have no direct relation, but it's just
because we don't understand it entirely.
