I've an appointment with my GP in a couple of weeks but it occurred to me some wise mners might shed some light.
As the title suggests I get really hungry, hunger to the point of feeling nauseous.
I have my food, no junk all good healthy balanced meals and immediately after eating my head aches and I'm sweaty and shakey. This is the pattern every lunch and dinner time , every day , for months.
I used to think it was a hangover from wine the evening before but I've knocked that on the head now so its not that.
I'm in my forties, a bit overweight and I work long hours in a relatively stressful environment.
Ring any bells anyone ?

Blood sugar spikes? Have you been tested recently for diabetes at all?

My dh suggested diabetes too but when googled it weight loss was a symptom so I put it out of my head.
Of course I shouldn't put great store in Dr Google .I thought that if it were something as serious as diabetes I'd feel significantly more poorly.
I'm convinced blood sugar must have something to do with it though.

Reactive hypoglycemia ?

If you have reactive hypoglycemia you’re going to notice a host of strange and alarming symptoms an hour or two after eating a meal. Shakes, sweats, nausea, mood swings, blurred vision, confusion and lethargy are all common symptoms for the condition. In severe cases, you may faint or even have seizures (which can be a medical emergency).
