I'm a 16 year old girl and for the past 3 years, I have been getting dizzy and shakey after I eat and having those symptoms during the school day. What conditons cause me to be dizzy and shakey throughout the school day? Please help.

Hi there.

There can be several explanations at it will be very hard to pinpoint a cause without the benefit of a physical examination or ancillary lab results.  A more practical explanation that I can think of is lowered blood sugar levels, especially if breakfast and other meals are skipped before and during school.  Low sugar levels can give you that feeling of dizziness and at the same time some tremors or shaky feeling.  Stress is a common and overlooked cause of such conditions.  Low hemoglobin levels can explain the symptoms, especially if your menstruation has a tendency to be heavy and prolonged.  Low blood pressure is also possible.  I suggest you have this evaluated by your doctor so that you can be evaluated.  Regards and God bless.
