Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I understand your concern.

Your blood sugar is 63 then yes it is considered as a low but no need to worry much.

But if at home you developed palpitations,tremors and irritability you can take some sugar, chocolate to keep your sugars up.

If you are going to ER then do not worry the treating doctors will take care. they will give dextrose normal saline with constant glucose monitoring.

In elderly people the problem is that they do not take food properly after taking medications and some times might take 2 times.

Kindly consult your family physician or diabetologist for cause and instant treatment of low blood sugar in yours if they occur repeatedly.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks
