General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response
Hello,
You should get assessed for low blood sugar level. Undergo test for insulin level, liver function tests, ultrasound abdomen to get idea about liver, kidney and adrenal glands. Once you find the cause for hypoglycemia, you will get treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
