  1. Hypoglycemia and Blood Pressure:

    • Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, does not directly cause high blood pressure.
    • The body's response to low blood sugar can lead to temporary changes in blood pressure.
  2. Body's Response:

    • Stress hormones like adrenaline are released when blood sugar drops.
    • This can cause a rapid heartbeat and sweating, potentially leading to a temporary increase in blood pressure.
  3. Chronic Hypertension:

    • Typically caused by factors such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, or other medical conditions.
  4. Recommendation:

    • Discuss any symptoms or concerns with your healthcare provider for tailored advice.

I honestly don't feel like I have any health issues and have checked my thyroid reports twice and everything, including TCH, is normal. I'm feeling really anxious about this. What could this mean? What should I do next?

I'm a bit concerned because my recent test showed my vitamin D level is 10.4 ngmL. I'm an eggetarian, so I don't eat meat, but I do include eggs in my diet. I'm not really feeling any typical symptoms of vitamin D deficiency right now, but I'm wondering what supplements I should consider and if there are any changes I need to make in my diet. Could you help me figure out how to improve my vitamin D levels?
