Headache is another symptom experienced by patients with hypoglycemia. So, it is yet another symptom that can be caused by so many different conditions that the precise underlying cause may not be obvious. But the root of the problem might be a low sugar level. Headaches can range from mild to the form of a severe migraine. There are several studies suggesting the possibility of an association between chronic migraine and postprandial hypoglycemia. Migraine is a problematic, highly prevalent neurological disorder that greatly influences the lives of numerous patients across the world. New evidence indicates that diet may play a major role in triggering migraines.
One possibly underappreciated contributor may be postprandial hypoglycemia. It is where blood sugar levels spike and then plunge after a meal. Very low blood sugar levels that happen to normal individuals following a meal are typically not life-threatening, but it is something to be careful about. In the presence of frequent headaches after eating, it is important to listen to the reaction of your own body. Importantly, in this hypoglycemia, symptoms manifest several hours after a meal.
