Something weird happened to me today.
Ok, to start this story out i should state that i am a very healthy man, I try to run atleast a mile a day( some days i do two). I try to eat healthy( almost always eat three meals a day), Although i do love my bacon[:p] and last time i was weighed i was +5 pounds over were i should be.
Anyways, Today i got up in the morning, Ate breakfast( bacon and eggs[:p]), Did my run, and went to church.
After church i came home and started getting ready for some guests( i babysit a lot of the teen guys at my house on sunday after noons). I still had some things that needed to be done so i skipped dinner( something i rarely ever do).
Anyways we play video games and football all afternoon and had alot of fun.
That evening i went to the evening service at church and half way through the sermon i started getting a terrible case of the yawns. Then all of a suddon i started getting hungry. Then i started getting REALY hungry. It finaly got to the point that i couldn't take it any longer and i went to get a drink of water.
When i came back i was fine for about one minute and then all of a sudden i started getting hungry again, But now i was getting dizzy too and i mean REALY dizzy. I got to the point that i thought i was going to pass out in my seat.
I got up and stumbled to the bath room as fast as i could. Once i was in the bath room i was so dizzy it was like my whole body was num. I started shivering and breaking out in a cold sweat. It was all i could do to keep from passing out on the bathroom floor.
Then after what seemed like a eternity( probaly was only a minute or so) As fast as it hit me, It was gone. I calmed down and i felt fine. I returned to my seat and then i came home after the service.
Now i am home and i feel great. Feel as good as i have all day. I wonder WTH happened to me.
P.s. I should mention that i am 20 years old and have never had a medical issue in my life.

Even though you are 20 and healthy, you have never been as old as you are today. See a doctor. 0 -

This is excellent advise I would take it.

blood sugar high/low?
maybe a tumor on the pancreas?0 -
I have similar spells that I figure are brought on by a low blood pressure issue I have...might be worth looking into. 0 -
Lay off the bacon and eggs, start eating whole grain cereal and see a DR ASAP 0 -
When something this abnormal occurs, the best advice is go see your doctor and don't put it off! 0 -
My guess would be that your blood sugar got out of wack from skipping lunch. Possible anxiety could be playing a part as well. Just a guess, best idea is to see a doctor. 0 -

Who is this DR ASAP? I've never heard of him. Just don't go to DR ACULA. They say he'll bleed you dry.0 -
I agree-see a doctor.
My guess is your metabolism was still running on high and with no food to run on, you got the shakes.
Something similar happened to my son yesterday. He'd been cutting back for several weeks (for wrestling) and then made weight (easily) on Friday. He got down to 137 but was going to wrestle at 145. He ate well Friday night and Saturday morning. Then wrestled 3 matches and didn't eat much. Before his 4th match, he felt weak and got the shakes. He ended up losing his last match because he was afraid to eat too much right before the match and lost to a kid he pinned earlier in the day.
My wife and I tried to talk to him about food earlier again today but he didn't want to hear it. (Slow learner[}:)])
Your metabolism is used to working steadily and when there is no food to digest, you get run down. This will often cause you to get sick as well, because your defenses are worn down when your body runs out of fuel.0 -
Hmmm....either hypoglycemic, diabetic, or.....you were REALLY hungry. 0 -
it sounds like you had a hyperglycemic episode.
your body is used to the 3 meals a day, and when you skipped one, plus the activity the body didnt have enough carbs to work with.
get to a doc and have things checked out includeing a A-1C blood suger test run.
it is possible that you could be borderline diabetic, and as long as you keep the fuel tatio steady could go years with no other treatment.
but at the same time it is good to know in advance where you stand.
my wife went through this for years whenever her diet got off a bit, but the doc she was seeing never thought to have it checked till it was full blown diabeties[V]0 -
Symptums sound familier,did you eat any home made brownies? 0 -
I believe what yoy are trying to say is HYPOglycemic. Hyperglycemic is elevated blood sugar. easy mistake. And the assessment made sounds accurate, I have been in EMS for 16 years and have seen Hypoglycemia many time and suffer from it myself. sux, my first onset was at the gym when I was 19. gotta eat man. body needs fuel or it dosent work right. quote:Originally posted by oldemagics

Nah, you're all wrong, it's church. Stop going and your problems will be solved. [:)] 0 -
It does sound like a hypoglycemic/diabetes type problem.
Except, as someone else said, if this is what it was, you would have had to eat some good food, or maybe sugar, to have put a stop to it.
Which almost certainly means it was something else.
I wish I could have taken your pulse during this episode.
Better see a doc, stuff like this shouldn't happen to an otherwise healthy 20 year old.0 -
Sounds like a short episode of an abnormal heart rythym, or an episode of anxiety.
Low blood sugar also possible.
Best to see a doc and be sure!0 -
Not to play Devil's Advocate, but sometimes people around age 20-ish don't have any health insurance and therefore can't afford to see a doctor whenever something goes wrong. 0 -
thats for dam sure there +1 0 -
go get your blood sugar checks, when I was your age i found out I had hypoglycemia after a nearly identical spell. On the onset of hypoglycemia you can go through highs and lows of insulin production. Sometimes you'll come right ut of it on your own. 0 -

Then get some insurance,........it's dirt cheap when you are that age.
Also a visit to the doc, and a simple blood test, and even an EKG, is not that bad out of pocket.
Many spend that much on beer, and cigarettes in a month.
Or ignore it, and possibly die very young,........simple choice!
Probably no big thing, but many folks have said the same, and found out different.0 -

That would be my guess as well, but I would also suggest seeing a doctor if you can.

God put His Holy Foot on your brain and squished it with Righteousness, and demons of malnourishment were repulsed from your mortal body by His Foot Odor, because you weren't tithing enough! 0
