Strange symptoms - maybe need to reduce Erfa

Hi all

I have had a few funny episodes recently, usually around mid morning. Feel nauseous, very lethargic and feel like I could pass out. I feel I need to eat something and gradually come round after 3 hours, but feel washed out. I am having bloods done tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone had experienced this?

Thanks

Lancashirelass,

Sounds like low blood sugar. How long after breakfast does it happen?

Once about 11am and yesterday about 11.30am, usually after hoovering or other activity.

Lancashirelass,

If it is several hours after breakfast you may need a mid morning snack to prevent blood sugar dropping.

To keep blood glucose from dropping, eat protein. Protein helps keep blood sugar stable because it metabolizes slowly. Also keeps you feeling satisfied. If you tend to eat a high carb breakfast (bread, cereal, etc.), that sends glucose up & doesn't stick around. That's the drop you're feeling, which does sound like low blood sugar.
