Can Bad Headache, Heavy Sweating Be Result Of Low Blood Sugar?
my fasting sugar has been between 110 to 120 for over twenty years. I am not on medication. when I go to bed at night I am fine, about 2:00 am or a little later I wake up with a bad head ache and sweat heavy, my pillow and bed is soaked. is it caused because my blood sugar has dropped to low?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sweating and headache. This can be caused by low blood sugar resulting in hypoglycemia.
If these episodes are occurring repeatedly and if these symptoms get relieved completely on taking sugars or sugar containing foods then it confirms hypoglycemia.
Thank you
