Low blood sugar episodes

I wonder if anyone with PAfib has experienced hypos (low blood sugar) which in my case causes shakiness palpitations and the need to eat immediately. It returns to normal after a glass of orange juice, banana and slice of toast.

I have been told that there is a link between Afín and low blood sugar- although I don’t know what the link is!

Any info would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Used to get very Hypo before I retired mainy due to scoffing Lyon Bar on the way home from work and getting rebound . Stopped that silly game and eventually that all settled down. I used to have to eat digestive buiscuit and glass of milk to settle. That was ten years before AF appeared. Do remember that vagus nerve is the likely link.

Thank you I suspect my favourite snack of wine gums is responsible for mine but GP said it could be a tumour on the pancreas which has made me very anxious. Thank you for responding.
