Panic attacks and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

[jencrippen]

Has anyone else found that low blood sugar spells create anxiety and panic attacks? It is my #1 trigger and was wondering if I was alone

My best friend in high school is hypoglycemic and she got anxiety every time her blood pressure started to drop.

Blood pressure? That would be hypotension

Just need to kick the Alpha cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the butt... It needs to produce more of the hormone glucagon so the body can convert glycogen to glucose... Or just eat allot of sugar! Haha! Sorry, just took an A&P test on the endocrine system and that was on the test.... I know that I get very irritated when I am hypoglycemic.

Not all panic disorders are caused by hypoglycaemia. However, the dietary modifications suggested will soon disclose whether the panicker has a blood glucose problem...
