Dear sir

Metformin is known to cause confusions in most of the times but it is not associated with any side effects that you have mentioned.

Since diabetes is a metabolic disorder it is associated with high blood pressure and dyslipedemia.

These can cause some times the symptoms that you have mentioned so please evaluate for these causes and get evaluated

Thanks
