I phoned the gp they sent me to A&E I was very ill and after a 6 hour wait they sent me home because my ecg and blood tests showed as normal, is this from the diabetes or some other underlying condition, or could that injection still be in my system, my diabetes nurse said they shouldn’t have sent me home and to go again but I think they will do the same thing again, they were very disinterested in helping from the start. These are my symptoms, feeling hot and stuffy even in front of a fan, thirsty, a faint feeling in my chest, since drinking loads of water constantly I have stopped vomiting and not fainted however even when I have fainted my mmol was normal, I also keep swelling in my thighs, and get very dry palms, I’m definitely hydrated and I’m staying out of the sun but constantly feel nauseated. Could this be a deficiency from the previous uncontrolled diabetes or is the respiredone still in my system, In the hospital they blamed the new medication however I went like this in March when it went slightly warm before the medication change. I’m also getting white hairs in my eyelashes eyebrows and hair and very dry skin and it’s premature.</p></blockquote><p></p>
