I have these spells I guess you would call them where I get really shaky, lightheaded, weak feeling, pulse racing and I feel like I need to eat. This happens even when I have eaten recently, but it feels like if I don't eat something I am going to pass out. What is this? I am not sure what it could be (maybe hypoglycemia?) but it happens quite often to me and I am starting to get really tired of it. Does anyone know what this could be?

Thanks guys!

I was feeling like that too. I know it sounds crazy, but it was a peanut allergy. As soon as I cut out the peanuts, I didnt feel like that anymore.

Yeah sounds like a hypoglycaemic episode to me. Could it be anxiety?

Much will depend on which foods you consumed prior to the episode. Remember, some foods absorb faster than others and then tend to drop blood sugar level fast. Starches and sweets will do this. Starches vary in how fast they convert to glucose. Best to eat protein with starches and/or sweets. Protein helps slow down the absorption. Eat a candy bar and your blood sugar will spike and then drop low for an example. Some people handle these foods better than others.

I would advise writing down what you ate and how long before when you have one of these episodes. This will help solve the mystry as to what is taking place.

I am diabetic. When my sugar is low, this is what happens (along with being out of it because my sugar gets to the teens) right before I ride in the ambulance. Sweating is an early sign of low sugar, before the rest happens.

That happens to me a lot. But I've learned to notice when it's about to happen so I get a nice glass of ice water and lay down for a few minutes with a fan blowing on me.
