I Thought That My Heart Would Stop Today But It Was Just A Low Blood Sugar

This evening I just ate a small serving of sandwich, two slices of bread with a mayonnaise filling because I just do not want to eat as the appetite-depressing effect of my Cinacalcet is not making me to develop an urge to eat anymore.

I also had some Tortilla chips snack, my left-over from what I ate from my dialysis session. I washed it all down with some coffee. So my rather I call a snack and not a meal is just lacking on protein.

I only ate because I have to take my Calcium supplement which I really needed to make my bones heal fast. My endocrinologist prescribed to me to take about two grams of Calcium per day but due to its constipation effects I just can't take two grams per day.

I also slept this late afternoon and I do not want to sleep anymore this evening until the wee hours of the morning which is why I drank some coffee.

Now after a few hours I felt something different, I felt like I am uneasy, then I just turned off my mini fan because I feel like I am getting cold sweats like I am having a hypotension.

Then it happened my heart just felt like it is running out of fuel, it just skipped-beating. I just identified it as a low blood sugar episode. Fortunately I had some leftover candy with me and that I did ate. I opened one and then another and sucked on it.

After a while I am feeling okay again. It seems that I just needed some protein whenever I would eat. It is just not good to eat only carbohydrates even though you are not expending energy that much because carbohydrates burns just like a piece of paper especially for a body like mine maybe I have a fast metabolism just like my mother because I never had been fat all my life because if I would overeat I will just get a very warm body and it doesn't feel nice too which is why I am not trying to overeat.
