Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and Seizures
Sat, 06/02/2007 - 09:12Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi All
I experienced another seizure on the wsy to an job interview the other day, whereby I lost consciousness for about 5 minutes and obviously this is not very good when I am inteviewing.
I was late for the interview and now am stressing out again which is not good.
I have had EEG's and MRI's and thankfully all normal.
Have any of you experienced / heard about any link between seizures (black outs) and Hypoglycemia? I have never had a blood test? Is this something that you have had done/
Thanks

This terrifies me. My son was diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy (hate the word idiopathic) when he was 7 and was mostly controlled until the last couple months. He's about to be 13 and has had a growth spurt that could be to blame for the resurgence despite increased meds. But, he also has horrible eating habits and when he seized bad one evening, bit his tongue as you described. I'm going to get his blood sugar tested. Thank you for all this information and I'm so sorry for your loss.

I may need to get an at home kit to test mine. I wonder if some of my symptoms are related to this.
