I got very dizzy and fell down after not eating for 12 hours, is that normal ?

I ate at 3.am and, went to bed .I woke up and deided to wash my hair before I ate, but at around 3.00 pm , while I was washing my hair. I got really nauseous, my vision got blurry , i got dizzy and i fell down (but i was still consious) . I figured, it may be low blood sugar so i had a teaspoon of sugar and then It was better. Its never happened to me before and i wasn't even that hungry before i started washing my hair, is that normal ? i'm 19 and i don't think i have diabetes
Answer:
I've gone more than 12 hours without eating and I was fine...did you drink water during those 12 hours? I suggest you call your doctor and at least tell him what happened; he'll decide whether or not to have you go to his/her office and get you checked out. You might regret it later if you don't do anything about it now so why not just get it checked out.

Really now! What do YOU think?

You should get a checkup, and you should eat at least breakfast or lunch by 3pm everyday!
Low iron causes dizziness and is common in teenages. Vitamins are a good idea at your age.
Definately get a checkup, grab some iron and folate tablets and eat on at regular intervals.

i don't really know, but maybe you should eat.it will help.

Some vertigo and/or nausea is normal after 12 hours. But not to the extent that you describe.Now, it could be that you were in bed a little too long and that messed up your blood circulation. But if a little sugar stabilized you, I'm tempted to suggest diabetes or hypoglycemia. So get that checked: Diabetes can turn up in the darndest places.

Take a teaspoon of sugar once a week, then go to your docter, and try eating! Don't starve your self lol

you would have had low sugar, low blood pressure and dehydration, use the common sense god gave you and EAT.
