What do you eat when you feel faint and shakey?

Easy things to carry: apples, nuts, muesli bar.
But, you should look at your overall diet, if this is more than just an occasional thing, perhaps you aren't eating enough during the day.

agree with everything thats been said but deffo think u need to have your blood checked and blood pressure x

Chocolate milk is a great recovery drink. It has a nice mix of proteins and carbs, some the body absorbes quickly and some over time. My sister is diabetic and her doctor instructed her to drink milk when she get's the shakes. If you do not drink cow's milk because you are a vegetarian you might try one of the milk substitues like soy milk. I have never tried soy milk but it might have a lot of the same properties as cow's milk.

I was thinking about your iron levels...or even your the amount of blood cells (white against red). I have to keep a check on my iron levels regularly, as when they drop I can get the shakes etc. A good way to check is if your nails look too white (the whole nail). I use this as an indicator with me.

I also usually find that if I've been charging around and not eaten enough prior to it, then I get a quick/sudden drop in energy, leaving me grabbing the nearest food source to hand. It doesn't happen that much now these days, as I try to eat little but often throughout the day. Breakfast being my most important meal.

I'd get your bloods checked again but more indepth and also look at possibly upping the amount of food you eat - little and often helps, things like nuts, biscuits, yoghurt and fruit to snack on inbetween meals. I've not looked at your profile or diary so my suggestions may not suit your diet plan etc.

I do strongly suggest you get your bloods checked again tho. Hope all that helps.

honey?

I would start with getting blood work done at your doctor's. It's not normal. I get it every once in awhile but usually because I've gone too long without eating. If you've just eaten then something is wrong. Start with bloodwork and perhaps a fasting glucose test and then if that's all normal, take a look at the foods you are eating.

If you are shaky/faint feeling, it probably is an adrenaline response to low blood glucose. However, this response can sometimes trigger that the wrong time.

If you have a normal a1c (no diabetes), then you need a small amount of fast-acting carbs (5g-20g) like non-diet soda, sugar candy, pretzels. The more protein or fat in it, the slower it will absorb. AFTER the symptoms relent then you can follow up with some sort of protein.

If you are heavy and/or have an elevated a1c (prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes), then you usually want to ride it out if your BG is above 70. You probably really don't have a low BG, and you want your body to train to alarm at the correct levels.

I usually have some nuts in my purse for moments like that or if I am starving between meals. I also found I would get shaky if I wasn't drinking enough water (and having more soda).

First of all, there is nothing wrong with eating a little chocolate. Secondly, you need to go see a doctor. Feeling faint and shakey is not normal, and there could be any number of reasons for it. Your doctor should be able to give you advice on how to fix this, be it through food, medication or something else.

I had that happen to me a few times and I was told to eat a banana. I tried it and it works.

There are all kinds of things that can make you prone to fainting that have little or nothing to do with your diet (e.g., neurocardiogenic syncope, postular orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, etc.). Go to your doctor if this is happening frequently, just to be sure you know what you're dealing with.

I am going to comment on this without reading any one elses comments so forgive me if I repeat things others have said or what not but...
I used to have that problem quite often now it is only every so often. I would have hard candy (star mints work well) and juice. I narrowed it down to the kinds of carbs I was eating would make my sugar drop like a rock. Breads/grains at lunch time would cause it for me. I started checking my sugar every day about an hour or two after I ate lunch and then again when ever I felt faint like that, it would generally fall really low around that time.

Apple or banana with PB, or a PB sandwich, bowl of cereal, or a protein bar. I suggest you go to a doctor!:(

I'm hypoglycemic and this happens to me at work if I'm especially busy. My nursing assistants know right away to grab me some chocolate milk (it's fat free) bc dairy helps my sugars sustain and I'm not getting that instant rise then fall off as I do with OJ.
