In my case, the problem is blood sugar. When I eat, blood sugar rises. My body releases insulin to bring it down to normal levels.
But in my case, the sugar keeps dropping. If I exercise at that point, it drops so low so fast that my body must release adrenaline to bring it back up. It's an emergency response, because the brain cannot function without proper sugar levels.
Ok, I think that was a big help.
Yesterday I was on a few km jog. At the end I stopped by 7-11, feeling fine.
A few minutes after, while I was deciding what to buy, the feeling was starting to kick in. I got out of there with a pure orange juice drink and fruit yogurt.
I started talking and walking with my friend for a few minutes. By the time I had finished the drink I was feeling perfect. Nothing there.
Going running again today, gonna see if it happens.
One thing is that you say had this problem since you were a kid?
I never had this problem in the previous years, and that's why it worries me.
I don't want to seem over the top but I think a checkup
with a cardiologist might be in order.
I have had numerous visits to my doctor and I explained my situation to him many many different times. He was convinced there was nothing wrong with me. To convince me he said he'll do a few physical check. After xrays, blood and urine samples, he said everything seems to be in perfect order.
He did suggest that I see a physiotherapest to get me started though, which I haven't done.
