Diabetic And Had Heart Surgery. Took Some Wrong Insulin And Experiencing Sweating And Skin Clammy. What To Do?
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Take your father-in-law to his doctor!
It is about a week – so it is unlikely to have anything to do with the ‘wrong insulin’
1) the blood sugar could be low at morning time / or it could have been lower in the night leading to a reactive overshoot in the morning (Somogyi / XXXXXXX phenomenon)
2) It may be atypical angina -
He must be seen by his doctor –
- His sugar needs to be tested several times / especially during the episodes and in night...
- He needs a HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) to detect silent (no symptom) ischemia and/or arrhythmia (irregular beats)
if a routine ECG does not show, thallium stress ECG may have to be done
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
