Hi all, I’ve been having regular episodes of what I think may be low blood sugar levels (suddenly feeling like I’m going to faint, dizzy & sick, I have to sit /lay down, limbs feel like dead weights, usually hot & sweaty, and craving jelly sweats which I don’t normally like!). It used to happen before my period & I went to see my GP they suggested I was exercising too much & eating too few carbs. Whilst I respect my gp I didn’t feel that was the case, but didn’t want to waste anymore of their time and instead started to keep sweets on me to have one or 2 when I get symptoms.
I’m now 8 weeks pregnant and the symptoms seem to be magnified, today I was being physically sick after symptoms. I finally managed to drink some smoothie and then fell asleep for a few hours (feeling really cold). It sounds dramatic but it’s taken me the whole day to start to feel normal again, including eating carbs, sweets & coke which feels so wrong & unhealthy while pregnant. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what it could be causing it so that I can speak to my gp feeling a little more informed? thanks,
