Hypoglycemia episodes - Update
May 12, 2010
I called the doctor yesterday and asked her to send me for labs because I felt there was something VERY wrong with me. As I was backtracking my symptoms and writing them down, I realized that they began a few days after my appointment with her, when she put me on Omapreazole. I googled and sure enough, hypoglycemia is a side effect for 3%. LUCKY ME! Anyhow, I am off the O and instructed to go to the ER if I have any more symptoms.Last night was really rough. I got home from work at 4 and collapsed on the couch and started crying (not to be dramatic) my daughter brought me some dinner, which I wolfed down. I couldn't keep my eyes open after that and went and lay down on my bed for a few minutes. I woke up at 6:30 this morning - still in my jeans. It was really frightening.
This morning was rough but once I was around the bend at about 10:30, I felt so much better! I have sipped water all day, had a yogurt, piece of fruit, a lean cuisine for lunch and I feel fabulous today. I am clear headed and back to my normal level-headedness.
Lesson learned NO MORE OMEPERAZOLE FOR ME!
