Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)
A person may experience dizziness when their blood sugar level drops (usually below 70mg/dL), commonly known as hypoglycemia. Type 1 diabetes patients often have this condition. Hypoglycemia may also affect individuals without diabetes, although it rarely happens. In addition to dizziness, low blood sugar levels can cause sweating, shakiness, and confusion.
Too much insulin is one of the significant causes of hypoglycemia. But other factors can also trigger it, including alcohol consumption, hunger, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, mood changes, headache, trouble concentrating, menstruation, too much protein, and irregular heartbeat. The quickest fix to increase the body’s sugar level is to consume something sweet, like candies or juice.
It is already considered severe when the sugar level is below 54 mg/dL and can lead to fainting. Some symptoms may include feeling confused, acting strange, weakness, difficulty walking, blurry vision, and seizures. Seeking medical treatment is advised to help manage and treat severe blood sugar levels.
