undiagnosed symptoms - Blood sugar?

23yr female 194lbs takes medication

I have had these concerning symptoms for about a month, and they are becoming more frequent, and I don't see the connection.

On occasion I become dizzy, I shake, i'm out of it (unable to complete simple tasks, or focus) I get really agitated, and panicked. This includes body temprature rising suddenly sweaty hands, and feeling the need to run. I feel like i'm going to faint, but not because of blood pressure like a head rush, more like go unconsious.

These symptoms are either proceeded by:

a) physical activity (cardio) 30 mins- 1hr. Extreme hunger, but at the same time a jittery stomach and the feeling I would throw up if I ate.

b) having lunch up to an hour before.

I always get these after physical activity. But, I only get these symptoms occasionally after I eat. I thought It would be my blood sugar, but reading about diabetes, It just cant be right. I'm not losing weight.

I have had my thyroid checked at its within normal range. I had a random blood glucose test with 3.9mmol/L

Where should I start looking? My doctor had no diagnosis, other than eat more frequently. All of this makes losing weight really hard, if not impossible.

No offense, but your doctor sounds like an idiot. That's his diagnosis: Eat more frequently?? Something is obviously wrong. It could possibly be hypoglycemia or diabetes. Weight loss is not necessarily a symptom, especially of Type 2 Diabetes. Random blood sugar tests are virtually meaningless. He needs to do an A1C which is a test of the average of your blood sugars for the last couple months. If it is not hypoglycemia or diabetes then you need a doctor who will help you figure out what else it might be.

Once again Zoelula has provided excellent commentary. Especially in noting that random blood sugar tests are meaningless.

Needless to say, you must endeavor to lose weight.

Easier said than done, I know.

I would suggest a general work-up with an enchronologist, who can determine if your weight gain is due to a metabolic issue. Not just a thyroid test. You have to get some of those pounds to disappear.

And, of course, a screen for diabetes.
