Episodes of hypoglycemia
Episodes of hypoglycemia refer to when a person's blood sugar falls into a range (usually less than 70) that causes symptoms like lighteadedness, sweating, palpitations, and syncope. If it happens repeatedly, doctors usually inquire about patterns and timing of food intake. Certain diabetes medications can also cause episodes of hypoglycemia.
