Hello,

Your symptoms point towards any one of the following:
1) Diabetic ketoacidosis that occurs due to very high blood glucose levels
2) Hypoglycemia or very low sugar levels in blood
3) Angina or brief period of heart attack
4) Severe anemia
5) Thyrotoxicosis
6) Any adrenal tumors

You need to undergo the following tests to arrive at a specific diagnosis and to start appropriate treatment:
1) Blood counts and hb%
2) Blood sugar levels
3) Urine ketones
4) ECG
5) 2D echocardiography

Please do consult a physician as soon as possible for further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
