Hi There. I Do Not Have Diabetes (my A1c Is

symptoms of anxiety always chsnge for me and come on randomly...
often i will get very anxious, like on the verge of a panic attack, but the symptoms will just linger for sometimes an hour, just on the edge of full blown panic... usually its nausea, highly anxious, restless, and slight dizziness or a feeling of wooziness.
i constantly fear low blood sugar creates the symptoms because they come out of nowhere, like i wasnt thinking anxiously in the monent... and sometimes its after a few hours of not eating.
the symptoms never get worse, but they stay at a hogh level until i eat or get completely distracted.
how does blood sugar actually work? i get so scared and confused that my blood sugar drops like 5 times a day if i dont eat every 2 hours. (sometimes i have that many panic attacks in a day)

You need a glocose meter.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your query and understood your concern.
It is true,most of your symptoms(restless,dizziness,anxiety without a reason) can be related to hypoglicemia.
At the other side,the fact that symptoms disappear after eating is very suggestive that the cause of your symptoms may be hypoglicemia.
In my opinion,you may have a drop in your blood sugar that occur in response to stress.Your body "burns up sugar very rapidly " in times of stress.
So,hypoglicemis 's own phsychological symptoms tric us into thinking that we are panicking.
To conclude if it is hypoglicemia that cause your symptoms or not it is necessary to check your blood sugar level during the time of symptoms.
If the result is <70 mg/dl it is hypoglicemia.
Let me know your exact result and i will be happy to guide you further.
Wish you good health.

Acute stress is the key.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
I appologise for the late reply.
Yes,in your case it can be a combination of anxiety caused by Acute Stress and Hypoglicemia because as i said earlier Stres can induce to hypoglicemia and hypoglicemia can produce symptoms like yours.
Let me know your blood sugar results in the moment when you have symptoms(two-three measurements in different days) and i will guide you further.
Regards.

Your blood sugar is normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
If your blood sugar was 96 in the moment of symptoms(before you ate the snack) than we can deduct that you had not hypoglicemia.
-This means that is the Stress that cause all your symptoms.
-Yes,it is necessary to repeat the test 2-3 times in other days to exclude definitely the hypoglicemia like potential cause of your actual symptoms.
Let me know the results and i will guide you further.

Stress and anxiety need to be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
I did some questions because I suspected a diagnosis called Pheochromocytoma, considering your last symptoms during the night.
But from your answers, I can exclude this diagnosis.
In my opinion, all your symptoms are the result of anxiety and stress. The fact that all the symptoms disappear when you calm yourself confirms what we said about the etiology of your condition.
I suggest consulting a psychiatrist in your area because it is necessary to confirm the anxiety disorder and to have the right treatment accordingly to the diagnosis.
Hope this is helpful.
Best regards
