What Is The Weakness And Shaking Of Hands That Will Subside After Eating?
Sudden all over weakness and trembling of hands. If I eat something, then I will feel better in a couple of minutes. I have also found that something sweet will make me feel better too. Mysteriously goes away and reappears maybe several months later. I am 67 year old black female, weigh about 210 lbs and only 5 ft tall. I take 15 mgs of Isosorbide once daily and have a pacemaker.

Hi..The symptoms sounds like hypoglycemia(low blood sugar).
we can confirm the diagnosis by doing extended Glucose Tolerance Test.
To avoid such symptoms we can prefer complex CARB diet,that is having food which digests slowly.Also increase the frequency of meal (small quantities of food more times)
thank you
