Suggest Medication For Low Blood Sugar Levels And Blurry Vision
Hi, my name is Sarah. I am 15 years old. Sometimes, typically in the morning, my vision becomes blurry to the point where it is black and I cannot see. This has been happening for as long as I can remember. Along with the blurry vision, I get this weird sensation in my head... It is not exactly dizzyness, but usually I have to (if I'm standing up) put my head down so my chin is on my chest or lean on something. It happens about once or twice a month, but it varies. For example, I think it happened about four times in one month but it hasn't happened for a long time, so it is very unpredictable. I tend to get low blood sugars in the morning if I skip breakfast/wait too long to eat breakfast, so I don't know if that ties into this. I have told my family only a few times, because I used to think it was normal, but they are a little concerned, so I do not think it is normal. Please let me know soon, I am really curious why this is happening.

welcome to hcm,
yes it might be due to hypoglycemia. but confiorm it by taking a fasting blood sugar reading at that time.
if you get frequent hypoglycemic attacks, i advice you to take your night supper a bit heavier that too before your bed. have fruits like banana after taking food in the nights..and the another thing i personally feel is that if it is not assosiated with hypoglycemia it may be due to vertigo. so please confirm it by measuring your sugar levels.
have a regular pattern of meals. that is timely meals including before sleep meals.
have chochlates always when you are hypoglycemic put sugar or chocholate underneath your tounge for some time. hope this explains.
