10 Symptoms of Hypoglycemia
Symptom #8: Anxiety
Hypoglycemia causes the adrenal glands to release an increased amount of adrenaline, which is meant to cause the liver to produce and release more glucose into the bloodstream. Unfortunately, the high level of adrenaline may not all be used up in the liver and therefore remains in the bloodstream. This can lead to feelings of anxiety.
The high adrenaline levels may also cause mood changes, nervousness, and irritability. Other hypoglycemia symptoms that may arise due to increased adrenaline levels include increased heart rate and heart palpations. Whether you have diabetes or not and feel anxious for no reason, you probably need to have a snack. If this feeling does not go away, you may need to talk to a doctor.
