Post-meal jitters/tremors

That definitely isn't normal. Have you seen a doctor yet? Did they send you in for some blood work?

edit: Jason Reyes9, I think Hrvoje would tell you he suspects something, but since it could be anything or nothing at all, it's better to get the lab results back first before we start speculating on what they mean. 🙂

There isn't anyone here.😬 Nobody has issues with their blood sugar.

And honestly, I haven't even seen a doctor about it yet. I've been eating every two or three hours, mostly because I just feel starving every couple of hours. It's like... I can literally feel this empty pit in my stomach.🤷

Roger Martin3 said:Look, you can’t really say anything definitive without first going through a full review and getting actual lab results—it just isn't possible. When symptoms like yours crop up, the standard recommendation is to run a complete battery of tests—just as Dr. Hrvoje suggested to you—and only then should anyone start drawing conclusions or making official diagnoses. 😉

Please, just try to stay calm—it’s easier said than done, I know—and head over to your primary care physician for a proper evaluation. Once you're there, they will review your initial tests and determine if you need to see a specialist or undergo further diagnostic imaging. Based on that clinical assessment, they'll be able to give you a much clearer picture of what is actually going on.

Listen, dear, who do you think you are?😕 Is there a problem with my posts on this forum or something?
This whole subforum probably wouldn't even exist if everyone just went straight to a doctor. If that were the case, I'd basically be acting like Jason Reyes9 and just sending every single one of you straight to your GP.

Be reasonable and back off from my thread.

melloworca6, look, all I want is at least some indication of what kind of conditions might match my symptoms. That way, I can see if I recognize anything in the descriptions, which makes it a lot easier for me to actually go see a doctor.

Now, Jason Reyes9, let's dial back the drama just a notch. I wasn't attacking you; I was actually trying to calm you down since you seemed so worried that Dr. Hrvoje had reached some terrifying diagnosis that he's just refusing to share with you.

And what exactly do you think is going to happen here—do you honestly believe someone is going to peer into a crystal ball, give you a diagnosis, and prescribe medication? That is simply impossible—it's just not how things work—and the only place you'll ever get real answers is in an actual doctor's office.

So, with that being said, I'm deleting this from your thread. 🙂

I don't know, shaking if you haven't eaten in three hours isn't exactly normal. You should probably go get that glucose tolerance test or whatever it's called. They monitor your levels throughout the day so you can actually see if your blood sugar is acting up.

No one can tell you that on an internet forum. 🙂 Sure, it could be something related to blood sugar. So what? You still need to run actual tests before anyone can have a smart conversation about it.

All you're going to get here is guesswork that might not even be relevant. 😉

If you want to have a productive conversation in the health subforum, you really have to learn how to talk
to people who believe they have medical issues while simultaneously asking an imaginary doctor on an internet forum for help...

Seriously, if we all just went to our local GP and stopped using this subforum, it would stop functioning entirely because of people like you.

And what makes you think you can read Dr. Hrvoje's mind? 😕 I watch House all the time, but I don't walk around acting like I'm a medical expert to everyone else.

gentlesailor25, your blood sugar is low, which usually means you're dealing with way too much stress and anxiety. Don't burn yourself out. Everything is going to be fine.

Mr. Oiseau suggested looking into my thyroid... maybe someone else will point me toward a third possibility. Walking into a doctor's office totally unprepared and then getting hit over the head with a random diagnosis is incredibly stressful. I just want to be ready for whatever options come my way.

I mean, why would that cold sensation start at my neck and head and then travel down, mostly hitting my right leg? Why start from the top? There has to be a connection somewhere.

So, I was wondering, do you deal with frequent headaches, mood swings, or those specific stretches where you just get hit by this overwhelming, heavy drowsiness?

Nah, honestly, I don't really experience any of that.

melloworca6 said:Jason Reyes9, this isn't how you handle yourself on this subforum. You came here looking for advice, and people actually took the time to give you some decent, well-meaning pointers. They showed you where to go; whether you choose to follow them or just ignore everyone is entirely up to you. It’s your health and your business.

Oh man, my bad! I just saw that... I mentioned I was scared, and then she basically told me to calm down. But you know, when a doctor refers you to another specialist, it's not like you can just brush it off. It's heavy stuff.
