Lots to worry about: Hypoglycemia may result in dizziness, blurry vision, fast heartbeat, jitteriness, and fainting. Hypoglycemia usually occurs when a person with diabetes takes too much insulin. It can also be caused by not eating. Unfortunately, the symptoms of hypoglycemia can be caused by low blood pressure, dehydration, & heart conditions, so you should see your doctor.

Unlikely hypoglycemi: 'hypoglycemia' is thrown about as cause of all sorts of behavior that doesn't seem 'normal'. It means low blood sugar level, usually below 65mg%. True blood sugar, documented, and confirmed on a glucose tolerance test needs to be carefully worked up (insulinoma often). Reactive blood sugar means one gets symptoms (lightheaded, moody, irritable) when sugar is low normal. Eat smaller meals 4-5 times / day.
