Question 1

does low blood sugar sometimes trigger svt?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes.: With low blood sugar, the body kicks in it's own protective mechanisms to raise blood sugar levels to feed the brain and rest of the body.  Adrenalin is released which helps block the effect of Insulin (which lowers the blood sugar).  Adrenalin also causes the release of glycogen (starch) from the liver to elevate the bs.  Adrenalin is a stimulant and "heart accelerator".  It could trigger svt.

Question 2

SVT: If you know for sure that low blood sugar triggers svt, you want to try and see that you maintain a level blood sugar by frequent small meals.

Question 3

i took a nap & i woke up dizzy i measured blood glucose level it was 42.i took sugar, but does this means that i have hypoglycemia awareness? & shouldn't my body wake me up at level of 60?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

can gerd/anxiety mimic low blood sugar? have gad and gerd, get symptoms like lbs, but all tests are between 78 - 120 with a rare low fasting reading.

Accepted Answer

Hypoglycemia: Anxiety can certainly mimic low blood sugar, making you shake and feel tired and sometimes "wired" as well.   Talk to your doctor about medications that would help anxiety, as the readings between 78-120 shouldn't cause any symptoms.

Question 6

how simple is it to get low blood sugar?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what drug: Hi. That totally depends on what drug(s) you're being treated with. I'm gonna go out on a limb and presume you're a diabetic. If you're on insulin, it's easy to get hypoglycemic, especially if you're type 1. If you're type 2 on any combination of metformin, a GLP-1 drug, a DPP4 inhibitor, an SGLT2 inhibitor, it's hard to get too low; insulin easy, sulfonylurea drug possible but not super easy.
