Reactive Hypoglycaemia & Chronic sinusitis

Posted , 2 users are following.

Can anyone offer any advice or information?

Everyday is constant struggle, After I eat any food with the slightest bit of sugar i gain all of the below symptoms;

-Lightheadness (almost like a dream state)

-Sinus Pressure

-Lethergy

-Heart palpitations

-Increased Phlegm (Post nasal drip)

-Gritty/itchy eyes

-Blurred Vision

If I keep consuming sugar I will get a sinus infection ive had 3 in the space of 5 months in which ive had antibotics and steroid drops to treat each time but the only difference is it turns my green phlegm back to thick white. I still get the puffy checks, sinus pressure, fatigue and so on.

I began the Keto diet to try and cut out sugar but then i get symptoms of hypoglycemia from lack of sugar.

It might be worth mentioning that i also keep getting thrush and have had antheltes foot in the 5 months this has been happening. Ive also had a few instances of random shooting pains down my legs and in my knees and 2 or 3 times an intense stabbing pain under my left rib which lasted a few minutes. (Im not sure if any of that is related)

Im desperate its effecting every aspect of my life relationships, work performance/Attendence and motivation.

Male, 23 years old. No instances of any other illness before September 2017

    Sounds like candida.

      If candida is even real, doctors dont seem to think its a thing?
