What is wrong with me?

[Megan_V]

I am a female of only 18 years of age. Starting last night I was eating some sugar cookies and when I got to the second one it got fairly hard to keep my head up and my eyes kept rolling to the back of head trying to close. I was in amd ot of consiousness. I thought if I continued eating I wouldn't pass out so I kept eating cookies. The feeling worsened and I started to shake uncontrollably and my heart was having a very sharp pain as my heart was racing and pounding out of my chest. I couldn't talk very well either. Everytime my eyes closed I felt like my heart stopped beating and I couldnt breath. Id gasp and open my eyes. This went on for at least an hour. My left side of my face was tingling and my hands felt weak and like there were pins and needles in them. I thought it was just a bad reaction to something but it continues throughout today. I have had a pounding headache and dizzy spells all day. My hands still are shaking and tingling. When I lay down I twitch. I studder some of my qords now. I ate today and I started to sweat, my heart started to hurt and I felt like I was going to faint again. I felt cold ever since last night. I havent been able to be warm. I feel warm at the touch but cold to myself. I also feel nauseous 24/7.

I have went through anorexia but I have been eating allot and more often the past month or so. I dont know if that could be linked to whats happening but I am worried. Anyone have an idea?

You likely have deeper unresolved  issues, which must be investigated.
Having gone through anorexia, I'd say you would benefit from counselling/therapy and getting some advice from a reputable nutritionist to put you on a proper nutritional program.
You may have several mineral/nutritional deficiencies and if left untreated, will result in many unwanted negative consequences.

The symptoms you posted, are somewhat consistent with reactive hypoglycemia.
Should you happen to test normal for sugar during another like episode with similar symptoms, you might have postprandial syndrome.
Here's an alphabetical list (by no means complete) of the symptoms.
Anxiety
Blurred vision
Confusion
Dizzy spells
Fatigue
Headaches
Heart palpitations
Increased hunger
Irritability
Light-headedness
Sleeping problems
Sweating
Weakness

Your whole life is ahead of you and with the proper support and guidance, you can turn your health around and get to enjoy life to the fullest.

If you have any questions let me know.

Best wishes,
Niko

Hello~I strongly suggest that you see a doctor as soon as possible. You could be experiencing anything from epilepsy to violent anxiety attacks. The fact that you were anorexic is a concern as well, your body is not use to food and it could be reacting to it, that is a lot of sugar to put in it at one time, and when not use to eating, it can cause strange reactions. Again, please see a physician as soon as possible.
