panic attacks and low blood sugar

Panic attacks and low blood sugar: Literally speaking hypoglycemia, also called reactive hypoglycemia, means low blood sugar. The body tries at all

times to maintain a nearly constant blood sugar level. This is especially important for the brain and the nervous system. The only fuel the brain can

use is glucose. If there is blood sugar imbalance, if the blood sugar level for some reason is depressed below normal, or if blood sugar levels drop

too rapidly, the brain is unable to function appropriately. This can lead to a wide variety of symptoms associated with abnormal nervous system

function.

Panic attacks and low blood sugar, as we see later, in response to low blood sugar the adrenal glands release adrenaline into the blood stream.

Adrenaline produces symptoms of anxiety, trembling and/or panic attacks.
