I feel I may me hypoglycemic and any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
First off, im a male, 23 years of age. I have a very stressful job which involves working long hours. About a month ago at work I didnt feel 'right'. I plodded on until late evening I felt very irritated and weak.
I sat down in the office to do some work and my hands were shaking, face felt bright red, I could hear people speaking to me but just wanted to be alone, difficulty speaking, glassy eyes. The shaking was the worst part, hands were going crazy and legs felt really weak. My mouth also became really dry and I had to drink lots of water.
Ever since this episode ive still not been right. That hasnt happened again but the feeling of being not right has remained. My eart races sometimes and I just feel tired/weak and dont feel like doing anything or speaking to anyone. My sleep isnt the greatest either which im sure is contributing!
I was at uni for 4 years prior and living away from home. My diet consisted of, well nothing much really just junk most of the time! I dont really eat 3 set meals a day and tend to opt for junk food when I do eat.
I was wondering if this could be a sign of hypogycemia? Im waiting to see my doc, but the nhs is a shambles when you have to wait 2 weeks to see a doc.
Sometimes feel okay but I have these sudden onset of symptoms - mostly in the morning and around mid afternoon/evening time. My first though was I had had a heart attack - but at 23 and suffering no pain I thought that would be highly unlikely. Im also anxious all the time and 'scared' to go out and do things.
If anyone could give me tips on what to eat and what to avoid and any other hints to tide me through till I see the doc that would be great.
