Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long he is suffering from it ?
Based upon the history it appear that he has got risk factors like hypertension along with diabetes. he need a proper workup and proper follow up.
He should meet his doctor so that baseline workup can be done including FBC RBS LIPID PROFILE UREA CREATININE ECG and ECHO.
Your doctor will decide whether there is need for STRESS ECG or not.
As far as symptoms are concerned it is difficult to comment . it points more towards low blood sugar level, Meet CARDIOLOGIST for proper workup so that appropriate management can be done timely.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain and continue with your medications.
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
