Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

From what you describe, I think we need to rule out four possibilities. These include:

1)     Diabetes mellitus

2)     Hypothyroidism

3)     Vitamin D deficiency

4)     Vitamin B12 deficiency

In view of these symptoms and these possibilities, you should get your blood sugar levels (fasting as well as post prandial), thyroid hormone status, vitamin D levels and vitamin B12 levels done. Your physician can streamline the tests to you. I encourage you to discuss with your physician and undergo the test.

Till then, stay away from spices, strong tea or coffee, sauces, condiments, alcohol, tobacco, cakes, pastries, tinned items and aerated drinks. Also don’t skip breakfast and take all the meals on time. Try to have dinner two hours before going to bed.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up query.

Wish you good health.

Regards
