Hypoglycemia Symptoms

Because epinephrine, one of the hormones that is activated by hypoglycemia, comes from the central nervous system, the majority of early symptoms of hypoglycemia are related to the nervous system.

• Common symptoms of hypoglycemia include the following:
  
  
  • Trembling
    
    
  • Clamminess
    
    
  • Palpitations
    
    
  • Anxiety
    
    
  • Sweating
    
    
  • Hunger
  
  
• Because the brain is deprived of glucose, a second set of symptoms follows:
  
  
  • Difficulty in thinking
    
    
  • Confusion
    
    
  • Headache
    
    
  • Seizures
    
    
  • Coma
    
    
  • Ultimately, death
