Nausea and Dizziness
Nausea is the feeling or urges to vomit. As a person’s sugar intake rises over time, their body will become dependent on it, altering their brain’s chemical balance. Because neurotransmitters like dopamine govern hormonal regulation, an abrupt shift in the brain’s chemical balance brought on by stopping sugar consumption induces hormonal alterations. This imbalance and low dopamine levels can cause nausea, dizziness, and lightheadedness.
On the other hand, glucose is the simplest kind of sugar, known as a monosaccharide. Carbohydrates can’t be created without them. Some cases of sugar withdrawal may drastically impact the blood sugar levels of an individual.
When blood glucose level drops below normal, a condition known as hypoglycemia sets in. When blood sugar levels fall, the fight-or-flight reaction is triggered, resulting in an adrenaline rush. This surge of adrenaline aids in the fast release of glucose from storage into circulation. Depending on the severity, symptoms may occur, such as nausea, sweating, dizziness, and fainting. This occurs more often in diabetic patients, who, along with their sugar detox, also take insulin treatments. However, if the blood sugar levels are normal, nausea might be caused by another underlying complication other than sugar withdrawal.
