Reactive hypoglycemi: This could be reactive hypoglycemia , need to be evaluation by endocrinologist.  This happens when  blood sugar levels drops down to less than 70mg/dl feels weak, hungry, dizzy , palpitation and shaky.It can reiieve by frequent every 2-3 hrs eating-non sugary food.

Question 7

might thin thighs indicate a weak heart?

Accepted Answer

Not sure : I have not heard of this specifically.  However, there does appear to be a correlation between body shapes and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  People that store their fat in the abdomen and are shaped like "apples" tend to develop diabetes when over weight.  Those who store it in their bottoms and thighs "pears" are more resistant to diabetes.  Then key is to keep the weight off.

Question 8

heart beat is abnormal.. one is heavy and next is weak. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Varying heartbeats could mean that you are having an arrhythmia  (ie that all the heartbeats are not being generated by the usual pacemaker in your heart).   Sometimes this can happen in a normal heart, but it can also mean some kind of heart disease (such as coronary artery disease) or that something is stimulating your heart (such as drugs, alcohol, an overactive thyroid, etc).  See your md!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Rib pain: You may have pulled or broken a rib which can be very painful. Tell one of your parents so they can have doctor check you out.

Question 10

when i stand my heart rate goes up to 120. i get weak and achy and my body sways. could this be because i haven't exercised? i'm scared to.

Accepted Answer

Have this evaluated: It is not normal for an otherwise healthy 20 year old to have a sustained heart rate of 120, especially with the symptoms of fatigue noted. This should be evaluated by a health care provider to check for a type of anemia, dehydration, or thyroid disorder to name a few possibilities that may require treatment.
