Question 1

i get a shaky weak feeling after eating sweets, why?

Accepted Answer

Low Sugar: When you load up on sweets you stimulate your own insulin, which moves the sugar into the cells, but can keep working beyond that & lower your blood sugar to an uncomfortably low level where you get shaky and weak.

Question 2

why do i have heart palpitations, feel dizzy and weak after eating sweets?

Accepted Answer

Sweets: Now that is something you must discuss with a physician personally. It is important to know your health history and also check your blood glucose levels. High blood glucose can make you feel like the way you described.

Question 3

why do i get hungry again about an hour after eating?  i get weak feeling too

Accepted Answer

Snack High In Carbs?: If you eat anything high in carbs it causes a rush of Insulin which then drives your blood sugar too low and you can get "hypoglycemic" even just after eating!  basic rule you must not eat a greater than 2:1 ratio carbohydrate to protein intake at any time.  If you try this and still stay symptomatic you should seek medical testing and evaluation.

Question 4

Question 8

i feel weak after eating, why?

Accepted Answer

There are a number: Of causes, related to your stomach/ pancreas, which normally produces hormones after food intake. If there is an overproduction of some of these hormones, like insulin, a very rare condition, would cause the symptoms you describe.
