What Causes Low Blood Sugar Levels Followed By Dizziness?
My mother had a problem last night and her blood sugar had dropped to 40. The medics had gotten her back to normal and we got her a hearty meal to get some real sugar. Now this morning she felt a little dizzy and her blood sugar is up to 360. She does have high blood pressure and is 52 years old. Is this a cause for concern?

Dear Friend, greetings from HCM, I understand your concern .. Both low sugar and high blood pressure can cause dizziness .. Please evaluate properly and start medications at the earliest ... Because if not controlled it can lead to lot of problems in future ... Get the HbA1c, fasting glucose, fT3,/fT4, /TSH..microalbuminuria , lipid profile done .. Keep record of both glucose and BP and meet us you need to start medications based on the report soon ... Thank you ..
