What Causes Sudden Drop In Blood Sugar And Tingling In Hands?

recently i started experiencing sudden drop in blood sugar even after eating breakfast. I had a series of blood work with A1C done everything came back good outside of my choleterol being a little high and my A/G ratio being high 1 point over the normal limit. I am 28 healthy as far as I know im not obese. today i suddenly felt like I was going to pass out later in the day way after my low blood sugar episode and eating something., the room started to close in and I suddenly got the urge to vomit and did. I tried breathing to alleviate after a little while it subsided, I also had alot of tingling in my hands/ lower arms. and feet. not as bad in my feet. any ideas of what could cause this

Hello,

Sudden drop in blood sugar and tingling hands indicate hypoglycemia episode which may be related to over secretion of Insulin, lack of glucagon or others. Certain pancreatic disorders do present in such issues and hence a comprehensive metabolic panel evaluation is must for the final diagnosis and cure accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
