Would Love Some Feedback

Yup...I think you got it right mrsto. Needing Water, dry mouth, sweating and headache does sound like a hypoglycemic event. But what you described at the market sounds just like what happened to me. I swear it felt like my heart was going to come right through my chest. I got terribly flushed/warm and lightheaded. By the way....I work on diabetes studies in my job and know the symptoms of hypoglycemic events...so Bama....if it happens again...go see your doctor, OK?.

Will do! Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for sharing! I was out shopping yesterday in a dept store and got dizzy, broke into a sweat, then mouth got really dry and I was so thirsty, then headache. Really scared me. I went to my car and drank some Water and took some deep breaths and was okay. Maybe that's what that was...an anxiety attack! I've lost 45lbs since Sept 9th and am really starting to feel the diff, physically and mentally! I get bored so quick now, and its an awesome feeling not to be depressed and have what I would call "black days". Oh what a feeling!!! </blockquote>

This almost sounds like more of a low blood sugar attack. When I have a rapid drop, that is it in a nutshell. The only difference is, drinking Water won't stop it. I have to eat something to quickly bring my blood sugar back up. Not pleasant!

I think panic attacks are one of the worst ever things to go through. I've had my share, and now carry Xanax at all times. I'm not saying to run to your doctor & ask for a prescription, but it does an excellent job of helping me de-escalate, when I can't do it on my own. That wave of panic out of Nowhere…..horrible! One time, on X-mas day, I went shopping at the only market that was open. It was mobbed. I unloaded all my groceries at check out, and BOOM - my heart started racing, I couldn't catch my breath, and I was going to pass out. I told the checker that I left my wallet in the car; I'd be right back. Well, I sat in the car until the wave subsided a bit, then went home. I left all of those groceries at the checkout, with a huge line behind me. That was about 27 years ago, and I will never forget it. Interestingly, this was the day after I was released from an in patient eating disorders program.

Thank you!
