Ambulance ride to the ER!!!
I had a Seizure in the San Diego Airport and was taken away in an ambulance!!
I started Friday the 29th of March on just 5 hours of sleep and no eating due to a fasting lab test at 8:30 in the morning.
I had my protein shake by 9:00 am, a small soup and salad for lunch, and a cup of greek yogurt in the afternoon. Total of 75 protein grams.
I headed to the airport, and snaked on fresh pineapple while I waited for my first flight. My connection in Chicago was so tight I could only eat some beef jerky and a figi water, and I finished the pineapple on the plane.
A little over 5 hours later I landed in San Diego, and headed for the baggage claim, my vision was blurry as I looked for my luggage and I tried to find a place to sit down. I woke up 15 minutes later in an Ambulance.
After a CAT SCAN and a blood test they told me I was dehydrated. All else was normal. Now I believe I may have reactive hypoglycemia.
Any suggestions?? I am worried I Thank You. Susan

Is that your before and after picture of the new you? If so, YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!
Traveling by air is very dehydrating. I double my water intake when I fly. You could be right on the reactive hypoglycemia thing. There is no way I would eat any pineapple without having protein first. I would get sooooooo sick if I did. Never eat carbs without protein first.
I always keep protein bars and nuts in my purse for emergencies. As soon as I'm through security, I buy 3-4 bottles of water for the flight.
Hope you don't have any repeats!
