General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The heart and diabetes both can cause the symptoms he has. It is important for him that before he goes for a vacation to have a thorough check to make sure he is healthy. The following would be recommended:
- ECH, heart ultrasound
- CBC, lipids, sugar level, HbA1C, kidney function tests, liver function tests, urinalysis.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
