What Does Extreme Exhaustion, Cough And Skin Blisters And Peeling On The Feet Indicate?
I have been sick for months with extreme exhaustion and it comes and goes. I have had blood work that came back normal and my glucose levels are high before I eat but drop low after I eat. When I get really exhausted I also have a cough. I am sore in the lower part of my back. I have blisters and peeling of the skin on the bottom of my feet. No doctor seems to help me. I just want to feel good again. Please advise what I could do.

Hi, I have gone through your query & understood your problem. * Repeated cough needs blood testing,sputum examination,X ray chest to define the specific cause. * blisters & preeling soles are due to dry skin/over exertion. * soreness in lower back can arise from bone weakness( calcium & vitamin D deficit), spondellitis * You have high fasting blood sugar & sugar drops after you eat- this finding is a bit confusing. - Get your glucose tolerance test done & consult a diabetes specialist for managing the blood sugar .If you taking medicines to control blood sugar? if so, you got to get the doses adjusted. ** I would suggest to get glucose tolerance test done to start with Uncontrolled sugar causes delay in cough relief, dry skin & sole problems & general weakness. Thanks
