I would think that there would be something you could take, but, I am not a medical provider and I really couldn't say. Many antidepressant medications work for anxiety. There is also Buspar and then more sedating medications such as Xanax and Klonopin. I would go to your primary care physician for him/her to evaluate you or also the endocrinologist as they would understand the other issues. I hope that you get better! Let us know how you are doi...

Have you gone to a health food store to look at any herbs for anxiety yet? I would get on the Panic Disorder Support Group and ask them questions. I just doesn't seem like this is diet related, although I am not there with you and I can't be sure. If it is anxiety or panic, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine can make it worse. Try tapering off on any of these products and see if you get bettEr. ;)...

People with low blood sugar will have this symptom whether they have taken their meal or not. Body will see this as a stress and adrenal will secretes cortisol to protect the blood sugar from going further down. If you have low cortisol, it wont be able to do it. If you have low cortisol, it can’t help much to fight your physical, and emotional stress, hence it explains your symptoms. ...

Can't speak to the nausea and vomiting, that sounds like something else, but I can speak to hypoglycemia. You mention fasting blood tests, but not which ones. If they were fasting over night and a test, that won't tell you much except a snapshot of how you were doing at that moment. Have you had a glucose tolerance tests or a hemoglobin A1C? The latter measure your glucose levels over about the last three months. If you have had spikes of high blood sugar, but it was low on a fasting mo...

I can't say that I don't like food. I really love to eat and snack all the time. I love to cook when I have the time. I have a sister that is a diabetic educator. If you end up getting that diagnosis, you are supposed to count carbohydrates. This usually means no more than 30 to 45 grams per meal. So, total of 134 grams per day and that would be split up in snacks too. A piece of bread has 15 grams of carbs. Some yogurts are up to 20 grams. Milk is h...

Are you still not so good? I really hope that you get a good doctors care soon and feeling better. I think doctors everywhere do not recognize a diagnosis for sometime until there is good research stating that adrenal fatigue and hypoglycemia are true. There has been a lot of research on these, so not sure what the problem is. Sometimes, I have to take an article to my doctor and asked him to read it....

I feel better than I have in a couple years. But, I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and foods affect those conditions too. I finally decided to cut all the foods that give me pain and irritable bowel issues and I am amazed how foods can affect your life. It seems that each person needs to find what foods fit in their own blueprint and I finally have done that to some degree. Who knows, my body could change in the next few years and I ...

But, really you need to see the neurologist first and take care of the seizures. I am surprised that they continued the test. A first time seizure is a big deal. You need a thorough evaluation such as an EEG, blood work, possible brain scans, etc. But, while you are doing that, look at your diet and cut out all sugars. Start eating whole grains, etc. Read about a hypoglycemic diet and see if you feel better eating that way. Let u...

I eat low glycemic foods and am doing well. At first, I ate all day long and couldn't get my nubmer above 70. It was so frustrating, but as long as you ingest the fast sugars you will push your sugar level (number) down. The bottom line you have to stop the roller coaster. Low glycemic will do this.......
