Health Condition.?!

Health Condition.?

Im 17 n im very small like 103 pounds. people say im small for my age. sometimes i get dizzy and i have headaches if i dont eat til the afternoon i become VERY sick like im goin to pass out. its not that im starving myself. It just be the fact that i dont usually get hungry in the morning, let along the rest of the day. My Parents say i might be hypertesion. What do you think?

When I was a teenager, I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia. Basically, low blood sugar. If I didn't eat a little snack every 2 hours, I got dizzy and faint and light headed and kinda nauseated. If I ignored it and physically exerted myself, I would pass out. I passed out three times from this!

Now I've learned how to control it. I know the signs and symptoms, and when I start to feel light headed I make sure I have something like a couple cheese and crackers or an apple or a Kudos bar. Just something small and healthy to give my body some more energy.

I had to go through what's called a glucose test to be diagnosed with it. Next time you see your doc, describe your symptoms and ask about a glucose test. If it's kinda bad and you can't wait until then, see if you can schedule an appointment to come in sooner.

Hope that helps!

Oh, they also sell Glucose Tablets at most pharmacies. They're little orange candy-like tablets that help give your body a glucose boost if there's no food around. I keep them in my purse for emergencies.
