Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
As per your reports and information provided you are most probably suffering from following problems
1.Dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid profile), which can be a cause of your inactivity lethargy and sleep disorder.
2.Polycythemia which could be due to smoking, alcoholism.
3. Possibility of a genitourinary infection causing painful foul smelling micturition.
4.Malnutrition & unhealthy lifestyle which may be the root cause of all these problems.
Though you have a family history of diabetes you do not have diabetes as of now as per reports.
The treatment for the above can be best done after a thorough evaluation by your physician.
Your doctor after complete clinical examination , further tests if needed like urine culture, renal profile , polysomnography for sleep disorder etc and based on these reports may advise you the following,
1.Hypolipidemic drugs like statins which lower the bad cholesterol and prevent the risk of MI.
2. Lifestyle modification including deaddiction program, exercise and weight management, personalised diet charts,etc.
3.Antibiotics, multivitamins and antioxidants to deal with infection, lethargy and general health improvement.
4. Stress management, sleep hygiene and behaviour therapy if needed
Meanwhile you have to understand that this is just the beginning and if you take action now on improving your health it will help you prevent many complications in the long term.
I understand your concern and appreciate your efforts to seek a solution.
It would be best for you to seek medical help and treatment by your physician as soon as feasible.
Hope that answers your query.
Regards
