#but still! would be nice to have him stop encouraging me to try NSAIDs again

Hey y'all! I have to preface this two-part question by saying it is not based on something I am currently experiencing, but something that happened years ago 1. Can anaphylaxis cause low blood sugar? 2. How bad is a blood sugar level in the 40s? Again, based on something from years ago, not now (just in case someone skipped the first paragraph) Like, I understand that that's very low blood sugar and is bad but idk how bad? At the time it happened I was at an urgent care and, uh, not tracking what was happening super well (both the things definitely happened at the same time, but I am unsure if they were related things)

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #anaphylaxis mention #blood sugar mention #I just assumed it was the anaphylaxis that caused it #but then was like huh maybe I should google that #and the results seemed...unclear? #and if I had super low blood sugar in a medical setting and it wasn't from allergies and my doctors are still saying #no you don't have low blood sugar don't worry #I am going to be a little bit mad. but if it is allergies #(and is something that only happens with anaphylaxis) I guess I can prove to my dad I have severe allergies??? #my dad does think I have severe allergies kinda #but more that the allergies interact very very badly with my tachycardia and salt issues #which. to be fair. they do. #I get dehydrated at the drop of a hat so anything that makes me puke risks making me unable to rehydrate myself #thankfully I have kinda cracked the code (the secret is I Cannot Drink Water until I stop puking) #(only drinks that have salt and preferably sugar in them) #but still! would be nice to have him stop encouraging me to try NSAIDs again #because of the like ten hour delay between me eating anything and going into anaphylaxis #the doctors were like well. you took an advil and it's almost definitely that #and the reaction was severe enough you Should Not Try It Again
