Something very strange is going on..... having had all the tests and diagnosed as type 2 and I've been on metformin since the 10th of April.
I've felt a lot better since taking the metformin and almost feel like myself again.
But as well as the recent diabetes I've had other issues. High blood pressure since November 2016, asthma and a potential heart problem that is being investigated after abnormalities on an ECG and a change from previous readings.
Had HbA1c of 46 then 48 & 48 so diagnosed as diabetic. I've been taking medication for my blood pressure since 2016 and had to change as it badly affected my asthma which wasn't really an issue beforehand. I've had breathing difficulties, chest pains and struggled to get upstairs and had been referred to a cardiologist due to potential heart issues. Consultant said heart symptoms had pointed towards coronary heart disease.
Then last Wednesday I had a pain in my chest that lasted a few seconds and disappeared and I felt as though something had been dislodged and instantly my breathing had improved and feels normal for the first time in 2 years.
Last Friday had coronary angiogram which showed no blockage and no significant build up of anything in my arteries, normal for my age. Also had an echo scan which I'm waiting for the results.
Saw the diabetic nurse for the first time yesterday..... she did all the tests including HbA1c which was 37 and normal and my blood pressure was 140/82 and normal.
I feel like since the chest pain last week and feeling as though something dislodged I am better!
Could this have been a blockage that's corrected itself and could it have caused high blood pressure and blood sugar??
