What Causes Tremors,sweating,stomach Ache And Craving For Sugar?
Usually in the evening at some point, I start to get shaky, faint, sweaty, stomache hurts (feeling like I am going to throw up), and I get a headache. It feels like I need to eat something quickly... just not sure what. It seems like when I eat something sweet quickly I begin to feel better. It just depends on what I find to eat... Almost like I am craving sugar? Sometimes this wakes me up at night & comes on then too. It is getting more frequent over the last 2 weeks, happening 2-3 times a day. I just turned 41, and ever since, it seems worse. Not sure if I should be concerned, or if it's just a lack of something in my diet. I drank some juce with magnesium in it last night after it began to happen, which seemed to help a bit after about 15 min.

Dear Patient thanks for contacting HCM, what you are describing appears to be lowering of blood sugar. Please get your Fasting and post meal glucose levels checked. Please also get an HbA1c test done. These will help identify diabetes and if positive will require further tests, diet counselling, life style changes and if necessary medicines. Meanwhile eat frequent small meals to avoid such situations.
