My typical roza this year has consisted of splitting headaches during the day, and severe nausea. Which means anything that goes in at iftari comes back out and I’m left feeling exhausted and giddy.
So i’ve been forced to leave out rozas. Fasting’s never been a problem, what’s wrong with me now?
I am looking for an easier answer, I keep getting told to get a bloodwork done, but going to my campus clinic means 8 test tubes of blood out of me, and that’s not a very pleasant thought.
blood sugar probably goes too low. Do you get up for breakfast?
I have low blood pressure so my blood sugar level is normally low. I keep rozey on the weekends only even though that isn’t much. In the weekdays, due to work and school pressures, I find it extremely difficult to fast. Once or twice when I tried to fast during the weekdays, I nearly fainted. So I can understand where you are coming from re: your condition, baad-e-saba. I think Allah mian will forgive us ![]()
hmm, it makes sense. Frauds, I do get up for sehri even if it's a little bit, I try to eat something.
I do suspect I might have low blood pressure because I've been getting dizzy spells for a few weeks, and now I have almost collapsed a couple of times while fasting but I think that was the nausea getting to my head. I guess I'm going to have to sacrifice a litre of blood to find out.
I'm not fasting again today and I feel so damn guilty.
See a doctor.
Please:)
Yes, please see a doctor.
How are your eating habits? Agar theek se khao gi nahi to yehi hoga. :-/
I'm hoping not, but is anyone here hypoglycemic? I did some research online but I am still confused as to why it may spontaneously arise in someone.
The symptoms of hypoglycemia may mimic and even cause many psychological and physical disorders some of which are shown in the following list in order of frequency and as reported by hypoglycemics;
- Nervousness, irritability, exhaustion,
- Faintness, dizziness, tremors, cold sweats,
- Depression, migraine headaches, insomnia, digestive disturbances,
- Forgetfulness, mood swings, anxiety, aggression, violence, anti-social behaviour,
- Sugar addiction, drug addiction and alcoholism,
- Mental confusion, limited attention span, learning disability,
- Lack of sex drive in women and men, lack of concentration,
- Itching and crawling sensation on skin, blurred vision, nightmares,
- Phobias, fears and neurodermatitis, nervous breakdown,
- Bedwetting and hyperactivity in children
I think I have hypo-whatever-the-word-is-cernia too
so god is gonna forgive me, baad-e-saba and moona..right?
ciao,

p.s and I left all the food on the table so that u can store and eat it later ![]()
Boss, are you saying you're hypoglycemic?
I know the syptoms pretty well, I was more interested in the causal aspect of the disease. It makes sense happening to someone that's diabetic, but I believe I eat fine and may be I'm doing a little more running around this year but I still don't see why it would make me hypoglycemic all of a sudden.
I spent the past few days doing 'practice' rozas, meaning if I felt really sick, I went ahead and had juice or ate something small. I think it's worked, I can fast with school now.. and it's not as bad. The tremor or headaches I can handle. But that'll get better once I adjust to the routine.
Excess Insulin secretion (hyperinsulinism) causes hypoglycemia. This is usually caused by an adenoma of the islets of Langerhans (Pancreas) that secrete the horomone. Insulin causes diffusion of glucose into cells thereby promoting glucose utilization in the body.
Normal Blood Glucose level (BGL) is 65-95mg/100 ml of fasting blood.
Excess Insulin --> Hypoglycemia --> Depressed Central Nervous System (CNS) metabolism ---> Insulin Shock.
Steps leading to Insulin shock:
BGL falls to 50-70mg/100ml. CNS excites up.
BGL further falls to 20-50mg/100ml. Convulsions and loss of conciousness.
BGL falls below 20mg/100ml. Results in Hypoglycemic Coma.
Hyperinsulinism is one of the causes of hypoglycemia.
Instead of wasting time here, go to that clinic and have yourself tested.
