What Can Be Causing The Rapid Heart Beat And Feeling Like I Am Going To Faint?
I am 61 and have started having rapid heart beat, shaky/wobbly legs, heavy/achy arms and a general feeling of being drunk. I have type 2 diabetes. I am in good health (work out at the gym 2x per week, etc). Still a tad overweight but am working on it. What can be causing the rapid heart beat and feeling like I m going to faint.

Hi,
In your case such symptoms can be caused by
1. arrhythmias, tachicardia
2. blood glucose fluctuations (drops)
3. blood pressure fluctuations.
I would recommend you to monitor some time your pulse, blood pressure and glucose levels and see your doctor.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
