Mark,

It may not be a panic attack, but just your sugar dropping rapidly.  Even it

it drops say from 140 to 115 rapidly, you could have those feelings.

Subject: the low sugar shakes.

 

ok now for 2 days in a row I have got the shakes along with hot and kind of

a sweat. both times I checked my sugar and yesterday was 109 and to day was

115. yesterday it happened around eleven and to day around 8-30. both times

I took a zan ex thinking I may be having a panic attack and both times the

shaking feeling went away in 30 minutes give or take. I checked my heart

rate both days and it was fine. I also done the deep breathing ten times

slowly and it helped as well. I don't even know if I am having a panic

attack, but when you have had a few trips to the emergency room with your

ticker having trouble, well it is a thing that I suppose could cause a

panic. I've checked my sugar on other days when it was low and I never felt

the shakes like yesterday and to day. could be my meter isn't always giving

me my true reading all the time or our bodies just do this at different

times. when I was running sugar of 300 and more I thought I felt grate and

maybe I did because my body thought that was normal. now I've all most cut

this range in half over the past eight days and it could be it is a shock to

my system and maybe the lower sugar level is making my body think it is to

low. I don't really think it is my heart because it doesn't continue and

after I do take the zan ex it does slowly get better. I don't take zan ex

except when I think I need one and certainly don't wish to make a habit of

taking them daily. I use to think folks who had panic attacks were a bit off

there rocker. now it could be all that kind of attitude is coming around to

prove to me it is real and can happen to the best of us. I made a note of

both days and will bring it up with my heart doc when I see him in April.

just was wondering if one of you maybe know some thing about a panic attack

or what ever the shakes are all about that I'm having only some times and no

always. thanks.
