Introduction
Symptoms of autonomic nervous dysfunction-related hypoglycemia generally include palpitations, general weakness, dizziness, and sweating. General weakness caused by hunger should be addressed promptly by eating; hypoglycemia in healthy individuals may result from irregular meal times. It is important to maintain regular eating habits and ensure proper nutrition and health. In addition, it may lead to indigestion, possibly accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea, or bloating.

1. Generalized Weakness
Generalized weakness caused by hunger should be addressed promptly by eating food. Hypoglycemia in healthy individuals may result from missing meals or irregular eating patterns. It is important to maintain regular meal times and ensure a balanced, nutritious diet.
2. Dizziness and Sweating
Hypoglycemia due to autonomic nervous dysfunction may cause dizziness or vertigo, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or headache. Patients should go to a正规 hospital for intravenous injection of hypertonic glucose solution to rapidly correct the condition. Adequate rest is essential, and overexertion should be avoided.
3. Palpitations
When hypoglycemic patients experience palpitations, they should quickly consume sugar water, sugary drinks, or eat candies or biscuits to relieve symptoms. After symptom relief, it is crucial for patients to identify the underlying cause of hypoglycemia—whether it is due to excessive dosage of a certain antidiabetic medication or insufficient food intake during a particular meal. This helps adjust future use of antidiabetic drugs and prevents frequent episodes of hypoglycemia.
In addition, it may also lead to indigestion, possibly accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea, or bloating.
