Are head rushes normal?

I keep getting head rushes and getting light headed?

• i had nothing to eat to day and felt this way so i had some eggs i still felt this way but 2 hours later i chug a pop and i feel fine i know u get head rushes from low blood sugar but i always get head rushes easily i think i might have type 1 diabetes HELP if you think so tell me

• Answer:

  Hon, you don't know what you are talking about. You need about 2000 calories a day. You had about 200. Your blood sugar and probably blood pressure are way too low. Your body gets weak when you don't eat, and if you don't drink any water on top of that you get even weaker. You don't get head rushes from low blood sugar, you get faint. When you ate, you could have eaten a dozen eggs and then you would likely have felt better, but add a hamburger, some cheese and a vegetable and you might have been fine. Listen, you can't do that to yourself, it's just foolish. More people get ill from lack of eating than anything else. Weakness and fainting are the symptoms and how would that be when you are walking or driving a car - you could end up in serious consequences. Eat regular meals three times a day. If you are dieting, then eat higher protein meals with fruits and vegetables, but for heaven's sake eat. And as for the type 1 diabetes, forget it, you don't have any of the symptoms. You would have been ravenously hungry, you would have been thirsty, you would have been exhausted. Oh, and the head rushes are because you are weak and our body goes through a superhuman effort to do something. Eat something.
