Low blood sugar levels. This can be fatal as the brain depends on sugar for energy. It is usually caused by diabetes medications, but can also be caused by hormone disorders and insulin overproduction.
Typical Symptoms of Hypoglycemia
- Taking insulin or other diabetic drugs
- Symptoms improve with meals
- Seizure
- Fine tremor of the hands and fingers
- Speech that does not make sense, or behavior that is strange
- History of stomach surgery
- Cold sweats
- Feel the heart is pounding
Diagnostic Questions for Hypoglycemia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are you taking diabetic medications?
- Does eating improve your symptoms?
- Have you had a seizure?
- Do your fingers tremble slightly?
- Do others think you speak incoherently or act irrationally?
Treatment of Hypoglycemia
This condition is first managed by consuming sugar quickly - options include candy, honey, table sugar, or sweet drinks. In severe cases where a patient is unconscious, a sugar-containing drip can be given via a needle in the vein. It is important to find the reason for low blood sugar, to prevent it from happening again.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
