Disorientation, Shakiness After A Nap And Pain In Head, Neck And Shoulder. What Does It Indicate?
I just dosed off into a nap, and woke up feeling a little confused, shaking internally, and feeling like my sugar was low. My wife came and checked my sugar and it was fine 139. I dosed back off and same thing happened. I am little worried since I have been hurting on the right side of my neck and shoulder and sometimes the right side id my head like a bad headache for over a week now. What does this sound like?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is clear cut indication of hypoglycaemia, even though your blood sugar level shows 139 but that does not taken or granted as normal or right level for the particular event, blood sugar concentration is very complex phenomenon, and so the clinical symptoms has to be given priority instead, so in my opinion have some glucose whenever such thing happens and measure the blood glucose level with standard method, and this is being done in pathological laboratory, take care and have good day.
