Confused about PCOS
I think I posted in the wrong place earlier, well I am new to the forum, hehe! At the risk of double posting, here goes ...
I would like to ask a question of you all if you don't mind.
Most days I get a pounding headache, lightheadedness, palpitations, hypertension (which doesn't seem to last too long before it goes back to normal), general sense of feeling ill, which I hadn't really associated to being after meals, but after thinking hard about it - it really is after I've eaten an evening meal that it is at it's worse, or late night after I've had supper (have to for medication whether I want it or not).
After reading I'm assuming I'm Insulin Resistant, which is why I bought the book. At present I haven't a clue what I should and shouldn't eat. I didn't know I should be on a diet, my Endocrinologist didn't tell me I had to eat specific foods to help the condition - can you believe that?
What is odd is that I was taken to hospital a couple of days ago (at night again) and my blood pressure was pretty high, plus my blood sugar was low at 2.7, which they tested later and was then 3.5. If I was Insulin Resistant surely it would have been 'up' not 'down'?
One extra symptom that I do have too is after taking my dose of Metformin for a few hours afterwards I have a prickly sensation in my arms, legs and head - would this be a result of the PCOS?
Thank you so much for any input you can offer me, I really am confused about this condition and am struggling to understand what to do with it. I am also confused which symptoms are PCOS or other things, since I have other health problems which my General Practioner has been a star with!
