I have what I would say is extreme hunger. I eat about 6 full meals a day. I sleep a lot at night, so I'm usually only awake about 13-14 hours a day. Even if I have a full, healthy meal (pork chop, rice, vegetable, salad), sometimes an hour and a half later I'm starving and dizzy. It's not blood sugar and hypoglycemia. I've had every test under the sun, including a 3-day hospital fast. Before I did the hospital fast I was eating about 8 meals a day. Anyone know what could be causing this dizziness? I could deal with the hunger if I didn't get the dizziness/confusion/spacey feelings. My mom thinks that I've stretched my stomach. How can I shrink it? How do I make the other symptoms go away?

Thank you to those that just responded. But, as I said in the details above, it's NOT hypoglycemia and it is NOT blood sugar related. I've been under the care of an endcrinologist, and I've had a lot of tests for blood sugar, all coming back normal.

I do not eat junk food. I eat meat, carbs, vegetables, etc. Every once in a while I have a treat, but nothing in large amounts because I try to stay as healthy as possible.
I am unable to exercise right now. I live in an area where we currently have temps below freezing, and because of my constant eating and these bouts of dizziness, I am unable to get to a gym. My weight is keeping steady, but because of my eating these last few months I have gained about 30 lbs and am bordering on overweight.

Do you eat fattening foods/or junk? I would say just stick to a healthy eating lifestyle, and forget diets. I would get exercise on a regular basis (4 days a week, 45 minutes a day) that will help. I would also suggest praying about it, God never fails and will heal you of any illness if you have Faith that He will take it from you. He healed me of a stomach problem I had.

I experienced somewhat of your problem, but just not as bad. Occasionally, I all of a sudden get dizzy and hungry, but no matter what I eat, I still feel dizzy. Perhaps you eat foods that do not exactly agree with your body. Open up to a more wide variety of foods, that's the only answer I can give. Low blood sugar could also be the answer to your problem.

Try eating six small meals a day instead of three big ones. Have a healthy, fulfilling breakfast, with a mid-morning snack, Lunch, mid-afternoon snack, a small meal later on, then a tea - try not to have supper if possible because you'll really mess up your metabolism - it'll go mad! Hope I help & good luck

Trying eating at 2 hour intervals but not full meals. Eat small healthy snacks, this will help shrink your stomach, but also keep blood sugars on a more even keel. Although you may not be hypoglycemic, have you considered hyperglycemia????

Just because your mom thinks your your stomach is streched doesn,t make it so. Exercise,drink water between your normal meals to satisfy the empty hungry feeling.

Low blood sugar. Thats the only answer ther is. Eat a bite before you get like that or you could faint.

Sounds like you need to see a specialist----endocrinologist maybe.
