Dizziness
One of the most common reasons why people visit their doctors is dizziness. Dizziness is the term most people use to describe their feelings when they feel woozy, faint, unsteady, or weak. The condition creates the false sense that the immediate surroundings are spinning out of control and can lead to accidents if left untreated.
When people experience hypoglycemia, the body responds accordingly. The organs, including the brain, begin to conserve energy because of the decrease in glucose. Glucose is the body’s main energy source, and when its levels drop significantly, the organs respond by using as little energy as possible. When the brain doesn’t have enough glucose supply, it can make the person feel dizzy or lightheaded as the brain reacts to the lack of nourishment.
For some people drinking fruit juice can have an immediate beneficial effect as the natural sugars will boost the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Sucking on sugary candy or other hard sweets will also help as well as drinking regular soda. These will immediately normalize blood sugar levels and make the person feel better. However, it is much better to consult with a doctor to prevent recurrence and ask for a prescription for glucose tablets.
