21 y/o female with hypoglycemic headache 3 hours after meal and intense physical activity. Symptoms including fuzzy vision, some loss of coordination. Returned to normal 45 mins after drinking lemonade. Not diabetic - thoughts? I suggested a fasting blood workup. Potential for migraine w/aura and therefore on mini-pill.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.

Lactic acidosis, dehydration, hypoglycemia.

Based on your query and her symptoms, I would like to rule out the above.

I recommend ;
-a physician consult just to make sure everything is alright and there are no contraindications for intense exercise
-avoiding this level of strain. Turn it down a notch. Increase intensity gradually.
-stay hydrated during exercise as well. Electrolytes and fluids need to be restored, if it more than an hour of exercise. Rest /slow down for a few minutes in between.

Additional investigations may be necessary if the above measures don't work. Hope this helps.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
