Muscle Weakness

[gaylee078]

After I eat, especially in the morning, my legs get a very weak feeling, my chest tightens up (because it feels the stress I think), but I feel this horrible overall weakness that starts sorta in my stomach area and seems to spread down and then upward to my chest.When I walk my legs just feel like they are so weak I cant stand it. So far I have been able to get through. Some days are worse than others.  Dr did blood test and checked for sugar. All came back OK. Aslo did a heart stress test. Was OK
I was reading about the blood rushing to the stomach causing high blood pressure and increased heart rate. I am checking mine after eating now to see if any of that happens. Please, if anyone else has this weakness after eating please tell me what it is so I at least know how to take care of it. I know it sounds crazy.

Imaz, do your sugar levels change after eating?  Just curious, because I often feel very tired and weak after eating, especially in the morning, and I have no idea why.

Sorry you are going through that.  I only get that weak feeling constantly and sometimes worst after eating, especially when I am very hungry.  I keep checking my sugar levels before and after I eat to see if there is any significant difference and spikes.  The weakness after eating comes and goes for me, but when it does happen it is like you just want to go to sleep..
