Symptoms of hypoglycemia in children include sweating, hand shaking, palpitation, hunger, dizziness, fatigue, listlessness, irritability, lethargy and even coma. 1. Sweating When hypoglycemia occurs, the body will try to raise blood sugar levels through sweating, and the child may suddenly sweat a lot. 2. Hand shaking This is a neural reaction caused by hypoglycemia, and the hands will shake unconsciously. 3. The normal function of the heart is affected, resulting in accelerated heartbeat and palpitation. 4. Hunger. The body sends out signals that need to supplement energy, and the child will feel abnormal hunger. 5. Dizziness. The brain lacks enough energy supply to produce dizziness symptoms. 6. Weak muscle energy is insufficient, making the child feel weak and his mobility is reduced. 7. Low spirits are manifested as poor mental state and reduced interest in surrounding things. 8. Irritability is affected and becomes easy to irritate, cry, etc. 9. Sleepiness or even coma Severe hypoglycemia may lead to serious damage to brain function, lethargy or even coma.
