Why do I feel so weak?

[CoconutGal]

Over the last few weeks I have noticed that 2-3hrs after having breakfast, I need a sweet drink. I feel weak, hot, my hands shake & I get light headed. It's frustrating because DH & I are TTC#2 & my periods aren't regular & haven't been since coming off depo last year & im epileptic. I'm always tired & can easily sleep at night & even on my days off during the day.

Visit your GP. You need blood tests to see what's going on.

Are you pregnant?

@Heratnumber7 - we are TTC but all my pregnancy tests have been negative so far.

Sounds to me like you're having a sugary breakfast and then having a "crash" a couple of hours later.

Try a different protein focussed breakfast. Poached eggs on some nutty toast or sourdough perhaps.

I have iron and folic acid deficiency that has led to anaemia. Your symptoms sound similar to mine. If you are TTC then it's important you have a blood test and get your vitamin levels where they should be.
