Hi. Does anyone else get palpitations as a warning sign of blood sugar fluctuations? They are driv

Maryann-

Hello! Low blood sugar can cause heart palpitations and it is a warning sign of low blood sugar.  Have you talked to your physician? maybe he or she can recommend something for you.  Do you carry any food or glucose tablets with you? If not you should. Do you start shaking or anything before yo get the heart palpitations?

My sugar plummets and I have the same thing, only 111 here and sugar off the chart

Hi, I'm a type 2 and have been for the past 10 + years - and I do suffer from heart palpitations if it goes too low - for instance under 70 or high - over 200

I also get major headaches and get shivers when low... so - you are not alone.

And I do have heart problems - but this effect is caused from the sugar drops or spikes!

I, too, have Type 1. I always suffer from heart palpitations, headaches, shaking, and sweating when my blood sugar is low. As soon as the symptoms start, I test my sugar reading, then I eat yogurt, or fruit, or take a glucose tablet. I carry these with me at all times.

 In a nutshell, you are not alone. These symptoms drive me crazy, too.

I too Have heart palpitations and went to the doctor got tests, cardiologist and my heart is in excellent condition. I have been researching and I notice i get the heart palpitations when my blood sugar is lower and I havent eaten properly. Its really scary and annoying to get them constantly. I have had low blood sugar problems since I was a teenager. I am now 29. Is this common to get with the LBS? How do I stop the palpitations? Are they dangerous?

Type 2 and my breathing becomes difficult when my surgar spikes
