hypoglycemia and symptoms that resemble anxiety

Hello again.

Yesterday my test came back from the lab and turns out I have low blood sugar...58 mg/dl. Doctor was concerned as only an hour before the blood test, I ate lunch and some cookies. So why was my blood sugar so low? I have been feeling very tired and ill the past month...not much energy. And I know that if you have hypoglycemia, you can be experiencing symptoms very similar to anxiety....like shakiness, light headedness, confusion, weakness, palpitations.. etc. I though it was my anxiety but it was not. No wonder. It makes great sense. And no, I am not diabetic or taking any meds for it. Do I have some other health problem???

So why was my blood sugar so low after I ate lunch and a cookie? Any advice appreciated!!
My doc told me she can do other tests if I want them done. I am worried.

Thanks SC. After reading your reply, I made another appointment with a specialist. I am also going to ask them about nutrition. I have always been careful with my diet, but it seems I have messed it up lately! I feel awful. I used to encourage people to eat well. :(

Mel, I will only add this, a Panic attack will put excess Adrenalin in your blood stream, when the adrenalin burns off it will give you a sugar crash, weak leg's, shakiness, sometimes sweat and
nausea, try to stabilize your carb intake, several women i use to work with would carry just a few
peanut butter and cracker snack, i am sure the nutritionist you see will have good ideas for you.

Peace
