Brief Answer:
4 possible causes discussed
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I have read your query
I think I can help you
From the information, following possible causes come to my mind-
a possibility is that your sugars normally are high
when it comes to normal level you feel the symptoms
because for your body, the sugar has become low
the best way would be to monitor sugars carefully and readjust metformin dose
another possibility comes from the fact that metformin can cause abdominal symptoms. again readjustment of dose or change of the medicine will help
a possibility is a cardiac problem
in diabetics, chest pain does not always happen
very often there is some vague symptom like breathlessness or abdominal pain
this is a serious possibility
and i suggest you should meet a cardiologist right away
one final possibility is anxiety disorder
the raised heart rate despite metoprolol suggests the possibility
but i would consider this only if the other possibilities are ruled out
i have tried my best to explain to you the possibilities and the measures we can suggest
i hope that the information helps you
feel free to contct us for more information
best of luck
