Answer 1

Hypoglycemia. See a doctor.

Answer 2

sounds like low blood sugar. It is caused when the pancreas makes to much insulin. It is the opposite of diabetes and it is just as dangerous. Go see a doctor to get checked over. Until then try to eat your 3 main meals like normal but add 3 large snacks with a protein and a carb like crackers and cheese with a slice of ham. I know you would think that candy or a soda would fix it and in an emergancy they will but they also cause the body to make more insulin and will make the lightheadedness return sooner.

Answer 3

You are probably having a blood sugar problem. Try to make sure you eat some small snacks throughout the day which include carbohydrates and protein. Have a doctor do a blood sugar screening to see if you are dropping very low after meals. Your body could be producing tooo much insulin to compensate for calories.

Answer 4

YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR....

this could be caused by a number of things, the first to spring to mind being

anaemia (low iron levels in the blood) - easily treated with iron tablets,

vitamin deficiency - you'll need to find out which one

diabetes - is there any history of this in your family?

malnutrition - are you eating a healthy balanced diet?

Get to your doctor as soon as you can, get it checked out, it might be nothing, but better safe than sorry...

and if it is something a little more serious, it's best to catch it early.

Answer 5

Its called hypoglycemia - which means low blood sugar.

I used to suffer from it when I was younger. I would suggest seeing a doctor and explaining the whole thing. Include what you do eat as part of the information you provide the doctor.

The reason I suggest seeing a doctor now is simple - in my case the low blood sugars, for whatever reason, eventually turned into diabetes. I now require insulin shots daily to stay alive.

Not meant to scare you, just a warning... see a doctor, or risk ending up taking shots for the rest of your life...

Peace,

Answer 6

I used to get really dizzy if i didn't eat. I would faint if i waited too long. Everything would go dark n i couldn't hear. I found out it was my sugar level gettin too low. U might wanna check on that w/ a doc. Try buying glucose at Walgreen's n see if that helps. Its just sugar tablets, take one when u feel like that again n see if it works.

Answer 7

The easy way to find out what is happening is to go see a doctor. It sounds like low blood sugar problems.

Answer 8

Sounds like low blood sugar, like a diabetic, definitely go see a doctor.

Answer 9

It sounds like you have a problem with your blood sugar.

It may not be a bad idea to get this checked out, in case you are in the early stages of diabetes.

Answer 10

It sounds like you might be hypo-glycemic - get off to a doctor and have your blood checked. Go asap before you faint, collapse and injure your head or other body parts (a friend of mine who was h-g fainted and fractured her skull on some concrete steps).
