Diabetes? Or something else?!
Question:
Diabetes? Or something else?
I am 17 years old. WHen i was about 10, i was walking down our hallway and i thought i was passing out. That night i had what was described as my 'first panic attack'. After that i was ALWAYS lightheaded and had anxiety. I went to the doctor for years,only to be put on anti-depressents at 12. My mom took me off of them because i almost didnt even know who i was. So i have just been dealing with it but last year i went to the hospital for chest pains. They ran every test on my heart but found nothing. So then last night my hands starting going numb,and then my face. I felt like my face was twitching but i looked in the mirror and it wasnt. So i called my friend and she said it may be low blood sugar. So i ate something sweet and was able to get back to sleep. But right now my hands and face are tingling and are numb as i type,and i feel EXTREMLY lightheaded and dont know what this could be.I am overweight but have gone on a diet and cut out sodas and sweets. Any Info is appreciated!

Also, the night before last i was out of town and had the worst toothache i have ever had in my life.My friend said that could also be linked to diabetes? I am just having a hard time believing that i could have had it for almost 8 years and not known!

The best thing you can do is see your doctor without a glucose meter we can't tell you if you have Diabetes or not.
