3. Low Blood Sugar
Hypoglycemia is a dangerous condition that causes low blood sugar levels. If left untreated, hypoglycemia can create a blackout or a seizure that may be life-threatening. If you experience frequent periods of sweating, shakiness, weakness, and hunger, then you are probably feeling the mild effects of hypoglycemic shock.
It’s critical to treat low blood sugar levels as quickly as possible to ensure you don’t faint. Fainting can result in a nasty fall that can injure your head or other vital organs. Eating a sugary snack will quickly dissipate the symptoms of low blood sugar.
Cortisol counteracts insulin increasing blood sugar levels. Addison’s disease decreases cortisol production, exposing the body to hypoglycemia. A full blood work panel can be screened to analyze the health of your kidneys and liver.
Hypoglycemia is directly linked to liver disease and can also present symptoms of serious health disorders such as kidney or liver tumors, diabetes, pre-diabetes, and hypothyroidism.
