Splitting headache 3 hours post Glucose test?

Question

Got dizzy during the 1 hour wait at the OB office.
Got VERY hungry/jittery once I got home after the test and ate EVERYTHING in sight.
Now 3 hours since the drink and my head hurts so bad I am squinting as I type...

Answer

You might have diabetes hun. I’d call the doctor & inform them.

Answer

Just an update! I PASSED!!! Though my bloodwork showed that I am slightly anemic so I need to take iron supplements, but aside from that - I guess it was just my body going through the motions.
Worth it in the end! (...since I passed lol)
Thank you ALL for the advice and support!

Answer

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling so terribly! I did a ton of research before this glucose test was offered and I decided to refuse the liquid glucose for many reasons. Instead, my OB had me purchase a diabetic test kit as an alternative and test my blood sugars for a week, 4 times a day. 100% worth every little prick in the finger for me to not have to feel the way you do. If you have another baby in the future, I can’t recommend enough foregoing the glucose liquid and just testing with a typical kit. She was completely satisfied with the results and I do not have GD. Good luck momma!

Answer

I had to take the 3 hour test cause I failed the first one. They didn’t tell me not to eat right before drinking the drink. Both times I drank the drink it made me feel god awful. I had to take an entire day off work for the 3 hour test cause i felt absolutely horrendous. Take a nap drink lots of water and relax those drinks are not fun

Answer

I got mine today too and i got a headache and nausea after drinking that thing. Nausea went away after an hour or so headache still there

Answer

I had the exact same issue. Just got my results today and passed with flying colors. Everyone reacts to things differently, call your doctor to be safe but don’t upset yourself thinking you failed since you don’t know that for sure. 💕

Answer

I got extremely tired 30 minutes-ish after drinking mine. Didn’t feel too good either. It was scary driving home. I passed the 1 hour test.

Answer

I felt like I got hit in the head with a baseball bat and had flu-like symptoms after. I had diarrhea, nausea, and muscle aches along with a headache. I passed with a 70! I actually requested they re-do it because my reaction was so bad. Second reaction was the exact same and I scored an 85. So I think it’s just some people have a worse time than others.

Answer

Sometimes it can be sugar crash. I hey a little fuzzy headed after and was just told I passed the test.

Answer

I’ve had a bad headache with all three of
My pregnancies after the glucose test. I have always passed, so I honestly thinks it’s normal, and just the combination of the rush of sugar/fasting
