Teenager. Occasional Blacking Out, Fatigue. Diagnosed Low Blood Sugar. Suggest

Hi I am 17 years old and I am a female. Recently I found out I have low blood sugar. However, everytime i stand up I blackout and have to hold on to something (what happens is like when you rub your eyes really hard then let go and its all fuzzy etc). I was a bit overweight so i have been trying to lose weight. And not only does this happen when i stand up, i can randomly be standing/walking outside or inside and the same thing will take place. And lately i get tried very quick and everytime I do something and i go fast i get really weak after. I have no idea what this is.

Hi, You are 17 years, female, over weight.
It appears that you might be having hypothyroidism, or may be having hypo vitaminosis , anemia, or genetic over weight with cardiac involvement.
I usually prescribe to such patients iron substitutes, bcomplex, and proteine substitutes, and get the thyroid profile, ECG, and hemoglobin estimation etc for confirmation.
So i advise you to consult a physician for treatment. Thank you.
