Patient's question:
I have hypoglycemia, and when I crouch down, I feel dizzy. I want to ask, what is the worst that can happen with hypoglycemia?Doctor's answer:
When hypoglycemia recurs, it may lead to a systemic catabolic state in the most severe cases, potentially causing shock or even near-death. However, most spontaneous hypoglycemia is typically characterized by common symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, and trembling. In such cases, timely replenishment of glucose will never escalate into a severe condition. Additionally, based on your description, dizziness while squatting is not a typical symptom of hypoglycemia but rather resembles orthostatic hypotension. It is recommended to carefully monitor blood pressure fluctuations.
