Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I experienced an episode of profuse perspiration, accompanied by nausea and mild leg tremors, which occurred this morning. An ECG conducted within an hour was normal, and cholesterol levels were also within normal range. Please advise on the further course of action. Additional tests performed included a lipid profile, kidney function test (KFT), liver function test (LFT), and iron profile.
Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Are you diabetic? If yes, these symptoms could be explained by low blood sugar. Otherwise, they may resemble a panic attack or anxiety.
Regards.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
No, I am not diabetic. I have also attached the latest fasting blood sugar report.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
How are you feeling now? If these episodes are intermittent, they could be due to a vasovagal response or a panic attack. Additional tests that may be required include thyroid function tests and an echocardiogram to rule out any cardiac dysfunction.
Regards.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
I have felt weak since that day. The doctor prescribed Metoprolol succinate. My blood pressure at the time of the ECG (one hour after the episode) was 100/50 mmHg, though it usually stays normal or slightly below. I do not have a history of high blood pressure. Today, I experienced chest heaviness and a slow pulse. Should I continue taking the medication? My hemoglobin level is 9 g/dL. The doctor has recommended further blood tests, including PBF with reticulocyte count, calcium, LDH, iron profile, ferritin, and serum protein electrophoresis.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
If your pulse is slow, please avoid taking Metoprolol, especially if your pulse is below 60 beats per minute. Also, thank you for sharing your hemoglobin level; 9 g/dL is quite low. It seems that anemia may be the cause of your weakness. You can proceed with your doctor’s recommendations.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
