Hi,

Sorry to hear about your medical condition. There is no correlation between an electro shock and you having diabetic symptoms. Diabetes is a disease process that takes years before it even manifests as symptoms.

When were you electro shocked? And what was the exact medical condition that you were told to have regarding the heart.

Also could you please tell me more about the blackouts. Do there occurs immediately on standing up from a lying position? Do they occur after a walking for a while or they occur on exertion? Are you a Hypertensive? If so I think you should have your supine and standing BP checked?

And finally what medications are you on right now?

And finally could you describe more about the rash above both ankles. Is it red or is it elevated? Does it look like it could have occurred due to physical friction with another object recently?
