What Causes Dizziness After Excessive Intake Of Lucozade Empty Stomach?

Hi

I hadn't eaten anything for over 10 hours but stupidly brought 2 litres of Lucozade and drank them quickly (due to being hungry), when I returned home I felt fine except for a few hours later (no food in 14 hours now) when I began to feel dizzy, faint and generally unwell. Thinking it was due to the high sugar intake I rushed to the 24 hour shop and brought a sandwich and a mars bar and now I feel better, but I am still worried I may have to much sugar (frutcose) for my liver to process, am I right in my actions taken and my train of thought correct?

Thanks

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Remaining empty stomach and eating irregularly can never be justified. the possibility remains high that you had the problems because of the habit/event of not eating.

Energy drinks etc do not help the body too much. you miss out on vital nutrients. and so relying on them to get through the day is a wrong practice.

And no, unless you are a diabetic, fructose doesnt remain in the bosy. it is used via liver ofcourse

I would still suggest checking your sugars, thyroid

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
