I've been taking metformin for about a year now (not for diabetes, for pcos) and almost everyday I've felt sick. I get a headache and cant stand up, then when i lay down my heart beats out of my chest. It doesn't end until i "sweat it out" like a fever. It's pure misery for 10 minutes to even an hour.

I read up on Metformin and saw some stuff about hypoglycemia. My question is, is it causing the hypoglycemia? or if i have it, was it pre-existing?

What should i do to prevent it, i always eat something with the pills and i've started carrying sugar tablets/squirt frosting in my purse for when it happens in public. It works pretty well, but how can i stop it from happening all together?
I'm 17, no other health problems besides PCOS. I'm slightly overweight (20-25 pounds).
**my doctors haven't been much help.
they said the only option was to go off it all together, but its worked so well i really want to keep that as a last option.
