Doctors’ responses

The symptoms you’re experiencing could potentially relate to a blood sugar imbalance, but let’s narrow down if it leans more towards low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Low blood sugar is often associated with feelings of shakiness, fatigue, dizziness, and trouble thinking clearly, which aligns with several of the symptoms you’ve noted. High blood sugar can cause fatigue and brain fog, but often it’s accompanied by increased thirst and urination, which you haven’t mentioned. However it’s important to consider your anxiety and OCD as contributors, as they can also produce symptoms like shakiness and cognitive issues. It might be worthwhile to monitor your blood sugar levels if possible. If you have a glucometer, check your blood sugar when you’re experiencing these symptoms and note the readings. Normally, blood sugar levels before eating are between 70 mg/dL to 99 mg/dL and less than 140 mg/dL two hours after eating. If you notice hypoglycemia, a quick-acting carbohydrate, like fruit juice or glucose tablets, may help. On the other hand, if you observe high levels consistently, it would be important to discuss this with your doctor. Given your existing health conditions, it’s good to communicate your symptoms and any readings you find with them. It could also be a matter of managing your anxiety symptoms more effectively, so ensuring you have proper support and management strategies for OCD and anxiety is critical. Lastly, consider dietary habits and ensure regular meals are part of your routine—this can prevent swings in your blood sugar. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical advice would be prudent.
