Excessive Thirst And Exhaustion. What It Could Be ?

I have been feeling very tired for the past few days, yet I was unable to sleep for two whole nights. I have been very dizzy, and if I stand up for too long I get a rapid heart rate , shallow breathing and I feel as if I am going to faint. I have also noticed that my toe nails have become purple. I have constant thirst although I am drinking lots of fluids and a pounding headache

Hi, Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
Get your Blood Sugars tested and since you have Blue toe nails, get yourself evaluated by a Physician to rule out any blood circulation problem.
Take Care.
