More funny goings on...

Hi all, back again with more maladies, following on from my last foray of dodgy symptoms and stopping my statin things are pretty much.....unchanged

I've been suffering with chest pains (original cause for hospitalisation last December when Diabetes type 2 was diagnosed), dizziness, blurred vision on and off (and combinations of dizziness and blurred eyesight that make you think that its game over :shock: ), cold flushes up my limbs, lack of coordination, a redness in my skin and various other symptoms, the whole lot except the rash come and go, normally we have a couple of weeks of them then they go for a few days to some degree before returning.

Since December I've had a week in hospital, numerous trips to the doctors (changed surgery after one doctor laughed when told of the symptoms), out of hours surgery at the local hospital, had blood tests which revealed nothing much apart from a high CPK level (reason for stopping statin), bs readings are mainly within the 5-5.2 range first thing and around 6-6.5 a couple of hours after eating, I've been told I had a virus on the ribs twice, an inner ear virus 3 times and that there's nothing to worry about once (as well as being told it may worry me but it doesn't worry the doctor).

I've been referred to see a diabetic specialist at the local hospital which will take 6-8 weeks and am due to return for more blood tests in a weeks time but in the meantime I've now lost my business (car transportation and recovery) due to not being safe to drive and obviously things at home are getting more than a little stressed with the wife having to be superhuman and spread herself in all directions, any ideas anyone?

Hi and thanks for the reply, the chest pain doesn't get any worse with exercise, I've been having the pain while wired up to an ecg and it hasn't shown anything abnormal, it is mainly a weird sensation but I also have stabbing pains, mainly in the left side of the chest but some randomly to the right, also a heavy aching that comes and goes in my left arm.

I tend to have a cold sensation all over when the pains start and breathing is difficult but I think thats more of a paniccy type thing to be honest

Haven't noticed a lump in the throat at all.

The weird thing is that the symptoms randomly come and go, I've kept a record of what I've eaten, bs levels etc and nothing jumps out as obvious.

Thanks for the replies, they checked for heart problems and all's normal, my medication is 3 x 50 metformin a day and 1 x 75 mg Aspirin, I was on simvastatin before but stopped that around 6 weeks ago to discount this as being the cause without change, Andy
