Has anyone here suffered with reactive Hypoglicaemia?

1 post in this topic

I've posted on here previously about an issue I have where whenever I've exercised recently, even if it's just going for a walk for an hour, I feel like shit after.

I'm getting enough calories, blood tests come back excellent, explained to the doc who did the tests what my symptoms were, they stated it could be low glucose but to speak to another doc for more tests.

When I do research,  hypoglycaemia, specifically reactive hypoglycaemia, seems to be a good explanation. Whenever I go for any exercise, It triggers feelings of depression, irritability, tightness and pain around my body, and sometimes mild panic attacks.

Sometimes I feel like I've lost control of my body and am losing my balance.

If I stop exercising, these symptoms go away. It's been happening ever since I came back from a hiking holiday 2 months ago. It's basically crippled me.

I cannot do one of the few things that have helped me with depression. I'm not deficient in anything. Iron, b12, D, calcium etc all fine. 

I've seen people say the key is more carbs - But I already eat a lot of good complex carbs - Oats, fruits, veg, sometimes rice.

I've seen some professionals say that eating more carbs is the opposite of what you wanna do and you should go low carb/keto.

This fucking sucks dude, I've literally been feeling suicidal over this because now I'm trapped in my house and cannot go out and enjoy much nature. and the effect of any exercise, even just a 30-60 min walk sends my insides into a greater state of depression, anxiety, racing thoughts and I get shitty testicular and rib pain.

This blows.
