I thought for a year i had panic disorder and anxiety but finally after battling doctors for a year, i was told i have hyperinsulinemia and low blood surgar which is causing my symptoms of anxiety..... I am happy, afraid, angry all in one right now. Agora thank you for being by my side. I been having it pretty rough, i am still afraid i wont survive this, it makes me feel horrid. So many er doctors kept sending me home with the nothing wrong speech but i was actually having insulin attacks.....

Armyguy, You are very welcome. The idea of this support group is just that. To listen to each other when we feel alone in what we are dealing with. I have never heard of hyperinsulinemia but it does make sense that something was prompting the way you felt and the symptoms you are dealing with. I'm glad you became your own advocate and pursued finding the right answer. I hope that now that you have a diagnosis, you will get the treatment you need to correct your symptoms. I'm sorry you had to go through this for a year. I feel you will be okay now that you know what you are dealing with. Wishing you well as always.

What tests did you do for them to realise you had this? I'm sorry it's taken so long

Armyguy, I was one of those who thought that because you'd had so much medical attention without a physical diagnosis it was all anxiety. But your persistance paid off, I know you had a really tough time, but you now know for sure what the problem is. O.K., I can understand your worried about the diagnosis but my understanding is that low blood sugar can be effectively treated and you will get your life back. That's the important thing, you'll get your life back and even if you have to take some meds that still a huge step forward in your life to eventually feel normal again. Remember, millions of people across the world have to take meds daily so you're not alone. I wish you good luch and good health in the future, you certainly deserve it.
