So I finished my 3 weeks of Doxycycline 48 hours ago. I thought it was causing my hypoglycemia. But I find it's happening more now that I'm off it.

I eat like every 45 minutes or else I start feeling weak. Then if I let the weakness goo on to long it turns into weak and panic, then eventually getting really hot. All stages relieved quickly by food.

I went to the ER, they tested my blood sugar and it was 106. Like an hour before I had been eating bread, and drank orange juice, and had a few glucose tabs. That 106 seems low for just eating.

Also my grandpa was hypoglycemic. I don't think as bad as I'm getting it right now.

So what do you think. Am I just having anxiety and getting food is my coping mechanism? or is this actually hypoglycemia?

It's truly starting to bug me. Should I invest in a glucose monitor?

BDL,

What does your doctor have to say about this?

Have you considered seeking the help of an endocronologist?

I think that getting advice on how you should proceed from your medical professional should be your next step.:)

Best wishes on getting the answers that you need...and keep us updated.

I agree, I need to speak to a doctor.

I was more just curious if anybodies panic attacks were quickly relieved by food?

It seems like if I was panicking because I thought my blood sugar was too low, food would stop it.

BDL,

Okay...yes, I see your concern now.

I suppose that anything, including eating, could be a coping mechanism...

If you are feeling symptomatic, either from true low blood sugar...or anxiety masquerading as such...then eating would in either case relieve this.

Either from a true physical standpoint...or a psychological one.

Still, you will want to get some insight as to which you are dealing with, and treat accordingly.:)

Best wishes!
