Fasting Glucose Tolerance Test - Update Post 1

[sskem96]

I developed hypoglycemia in my freshman year of college. I also have PCOS and IBS. I actually get some of the symptoms you mentioned in your daughter because of the IBS, and since you already know she has that, if nothing else shows up, maybe ask the Dr. if the symptoms could be related. I think it's due to a vagal response. Before I have a BM, I get extremely hot, sweaty, and faint. I don't even know I have to go to the bathroom yet, but there is evidently pressure on the vagus (sp?) nerve. A few minutes after I go to the bathroom, it resolves. It is worse when my IBS is acting up.

Nothing yet. She has the echo-cardiogram on Monday. We probably won't hear anything until after the doctor gets the results of both the lab work and the echo.

Thank you for your concern!

Just a thought, and I may be way off base here, but do you think it could have anything to do with anxiety/worry issues? I only ask because my DD15 has issues with anxiety and the anxiety can quickly turn into a physical ailment. She is also a very sensitive child who wears her heart on her sleeve.

If my daughter is worried about something, that worry can turn into anxiety which can turn into an upset stomache or other physical ailment.

I know you've mentioned that your daughter is going off to college soon and that can be extremely stressful for both of you. My daughter has another two years of high school and I know she is already channeling some of her anxiety toward college. We're doing everything we can to help her with her issues, but it's difficult to watch your child go through these things.

to you and your daughter and I hope you get some answers soon.
