What causes blood sugar to rise without eating?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Missing morning meal, caffeine can cause insulin to function less efficiently. Hence blood sugars rise. Some other triggers which can rise blood sugar include stress, excess usage of artifical sweetners, loosing sleep, dehydration, some nasal sprays and dawn phenomenon (People have a surge in hormones early in the morning whether they have diabetes or not. For people with diabetes, blood sugar can spike).

View allI'm on day 4 of my cycle and my doctor started me on Siphene 50mg because I had irregular egg sizes last month. Ive been taking it since day 2, but I noticed my period unexpectedly stopped around 3.5 days. Usually, it lasts at least 5 days. Could Siphene be the reason my bleeding stopped earlier this time? Id really like to understand what's going on.
Siphene may have caused a shorter or lighter period in your case, which can sometimes happen as a result of hormonal changes or adjustments. Its not typically known to stop menstrual bleeding altogether, but it can influence the menstrual cycle. If you're concerned, its best to check with your doctor, who may want to monitor your endometrial lining and overall response to the medication.

I'm kind of worried about my health. My pulse is usually around 90 to 115, and my blood pressure is about 80 over something like 90 to 125 over 40 most of the time. Sometimes I get chest pain, and when I exercise, I feel really breathless. It's strange because my reports have been normal for the past 6 or 7 months. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 20 months ago, and I've gone from taking 222 carbimazol daily to just 1. I've noticed that my T4 levels slightly increase every couple of months, but they're still in the normal range. So, should I be worried about the chest pain and high pulse rate, or is this okay?
Based on your symptoms and medical history of hyperthyroidism, it is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure closely. The chest pain and elevated pulse rate could be related to your thyroid condition. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. I recommend taking Propranolol 10mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
