Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query,
I am pleased to be able to assist.
If you are experiencing persistent dizziness/lightheadedness then it is something that merits further investigation. The combination of dizziness, palpitation, body weakness plus the fact that you have blood sugar problems is suggestive that you might be having an associated cardiovascular disorder which might not be identified through a stress test or EKG (might be normal despite existing heart problem).
Dyslipidemia or cholesterol disorders or artherosclerosis might be responsible for this. I suggest you do get blood tests for serum lipids (HDL, LDL, triglycerides, total etc), cardiac ultrasound and another EKG. Fasting blood sugar levels should be done regularly to make sure that it is under control.
The symptoms you are facing might just be early warning signs of a soon to happen cardiac problem such as coronary artery diseases (e.g angina pectoris, myocardial infarction), atrial fibrillation, arterosclerosis etc.
Other possible causes of your symptoms are infections of the ear, stomach, blood etc. You need blood tests to identify if there are signs of viral, bacterial, parasitic etc infections such as CRP, ESR, CBC etc.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
