What Could It Be If Felt Extremely Weak, Sweaty, Shaky Considering Having RA And Fibromyalgia And A History Of Hypoglycemia?
This afternoon I was in the grocery store shopping when I began to feel extremely weak, began sweating, became shaky, and felt as is I needed to sit down. I have RA and Fibromyalgia. Years ago I used to suffer problems with hypoglycemia, and that's what it felt like. What could this have been?

hello there. Considering your history this is a clear cut case of a hypoglycaemic attack.for this you need to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. You also need to carry a small size pouch of glucose powder with you at all times. In case of any such event happening in the future you need to immediately ingest that pouch of glucose. Hypoglycemia attacks are more dangerous than hyperglycemia attacks. Good luck
