Strange feeling if I don't every three hours help

I hope someone can help me, for the last 6 months I have this strange feeling come over me. I feel dizzy almost like I'm floating and when I stand it takes a lot of effort. I have a strange tingling feeling in my mouth and I get really hot the only thing that stops me feeling like this is to eat something when it starts. I went to the DR and they tested me for diabetes and thyroid but the results came back normal.

It happens every three hours after eating. I'm following slimming world so I eat three times a day and now I feel I'm constantly eating. I've been on the combined pill for two months and mirtazapine for anxiety and depression for three months so I know it's not my medication.

Please help me I don't know what's wrong with me and it's making me feel incapable of going anywhere.

    Hello Hollie, I'm sorry you are feeling like this.  When I read the first bit of your post, the bit that comes with an email notification,  I immediately thought, 'panic attacks'.  And as I read what you have said, I still think it might be panic attacks.  Can you go back to your GP or Practice Nurse & ask about panic attacks?  

    They can make you feel 'spaced out' & as though you are looking at everyone through glass.  I had them after my husband died some years ago now.  My GP told me that some people think they are having heart attacks, I didn't.

    Once you understand what is happening & why, then you can get on top of them.

    When you feel like this, try holding your breath for a few seconds [it's like breathing into a paper bag, which is what they used to say]  & see if that helps you feel as though you are back on this planet again!

    I hope this helps you & if you want to pm me, please do.  Good luck Hollie & don't worry.

    The symptoms you have written sounds like what my daughter suffers from when she was diagnosed with vertigo.

      Quite feasible but what about the timing. I usually get vertigo after I've been laid down for a while and that's to do with low blood pressure.

      Sorry don't have any more information.

      I have the exact same things...for years but docs said it wasn't diabetes. I'm now diabetic and still get this. I've researched and the symptoms I get, which are random and can happen even after I've had food so I need to eat more which hurts my stomach....if you look up addisons it shows the symptoms...sweaty clammy fast heart beat dizzy etc... I'm going to take the print out to my doctors to ask her about it next time I go. It might not be this but it's worth offering possibilities to the doc so they can at least rule it out. Take care

      I went to the dr yesterday and he mentioned to me it could be adrenaline resistance which by googling it it's sounds like it's the same thing so well worth u mentioning it to your doc, I've got blood tests on Monday to check for chemical / hormone imbalance and diabetes and thyroid. I hate this feeling it seems to be getting worse have u tried not eating when it happens? I've been doing it for a week and the symptoms get worse but after 45 minutes start to ease then go but I drink something when it happens . Please keep me updated. I get how your feeling and thought I was alone sad

    Do you have any history of migraine? It could be due to one of those reasons. Have a check up done for the inner ear, where the balance is regulated. Dizziness could be due to vertigo
