Understanding Sudden Fainting, Weakness & Cold Sweats: Causes & Relief


Question
Out of the ordinary during the day sometimes I will have spells where I start to feel faint, nervous, weak, shakie, and break out in a cold sweat.  It is a very scary feeling.  I start to feel better once I eat or drink something.  Today has been the worst one which lastest a lot longer than the others.  Do you have any idea what could be wrong or what I could do to prevent them from reocurring.

Answer
Dear Donna,   You sound like you have a blood glucose problem...  It could be diabetes or it could be a condition known as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which can be just as or more dangerous than diabetes.....

I strongly suggest that you see a doctor and get your blood glucose levels checked and be tested for hypoglycemia....

Thank you,   karen
