I Almost Blacked Out This Morning

Thanks so much everybody. I went to the doctor today. He seems to think that it might be hypoglycemia. I have to go to the hospital (probably Wednesday) to have some blood work done. When he gets the results of those tests, he should know more. I guess at this point, I still don't know anything for sure, but it really seems to sound like hypoglycemia. I'll try to let you know how the results turn out.

Definitely not pregnant (that time of the month ).

After reading most of those posts on this thread, my first impression is that you had hypoglycemia or you were pregnant...then I got to your post...phew! My uncle has hypoglycemia...he has to eat every couple of hours so his blood sugar doesn't get too low. Just wondering, but did they still make sure you weren't pregnant with a test?

Lisa,

I'm not going to question your knowledge of your own body, but you do realize you can be pregnant and still have your period?? Some women menstruate 6 of 9 months. Do a home test just to be safe.

I know that it's been almost 2 weeks since my last update. I haven't forgotten to let you know how the test results went. I still don't know! The lady that took the blood for the tests told me that the doctor would have the results that day. I called twice last week and talked to his nurse. She said he still hasn't looked at it yet! Can you believe that?!

By the way, Friday I had another spell similar to that one. But it wasn't quite as bad, and I was at home this time.

Lisa, glad it's something treatable and glad you went to the doctors(sorry, for replying so late) I hope you're okay. Stay safe.

Actually, I don't know if it is something treatable or not. That's what I was updating. The doctor hasn't read my test results yet, so I still don't know what's wrong with me.

Cant you just go there maybe and ask direct ? Or just call them at least once or twice a day till they got enough of you and give you a direct line to the Dr.

I guess I'll have to do something like that. This is getting ridiculous. It shouldn't be taking this long.

If the nurse said to you that it would not take them more then a day I would make a little fire unter their bum bum to get them moving . I am sure they would move faster if it would be their health .

You have to be very persistent with doctor's these days. They are so busy and have so many patients. . . Keep bugging 'em until they give you the results. Why can't the nurse give you the results??

It is a matter of policy but most doctors prefer to tell you the test results themselves. You will have questions and he will be able to answer them. Since you had another episode, if it were me I would go to his office and stand there until someone came out and talked to me. I get very annoyed with today's doctors treating most of us like cattle in a line-up. I would go there and quietly insist that you want to see the results and you want to talk to him about it, and let them know that you are having episodes similar to the one that got your attention.

Good luck!
