So I had my glucose tolerance test this morning, within 15 mins of having the drink I had to be wheeled into a private room to be monitored as I was close to fainting 🤦♀️ did anyone else have the same experience?

It could be the fasting and sudden sugar rush. I didn’t feel great that 2-3 hours either last week. As long as you were monitored and your test results are normal you are fine.

I should get my results tomorrow, my first bloods were done at 9am then by 20 past 9 I was in a room being monitored 😞 they even gave me some biscuits after my second lot of bloods because I still wasn't very good but then after some food I was fine

try not to worry too much, I felt awful and was given biscuits as well but my results came back all fine

I had this too, and really bad heart palpitations and struggling to breath , absolutely terrifying !
But I’m not a sugar person, I mainly have water so the drink was too sweet on top of the fasting

what were your results if you don't mind me asking

absolutely fine, came back same evening all good x

I had my test today and it was horrible! Too hot in the hospital but 🤞🏻everything is ok. Was very close to throwing up x

I had mine last week and haven't heard from them so I'm assuming all good for me but I felt awful during the test. I think the lack of food and then the drink was just too much tbh

I did faint in mine 1st time and felt nausea but they both came back fine
