Hi Divya,
Undoubtedly your problems diagnosed so far are: Impaired Glucose Tolerance (Needed is Fasting Blood Sugar and HbA1C), Overweight (58 Kg for 150 CM Height is 12% more than upper limit: please measure your waist hip ratio), Hypertension, ignoring your ESR for the moment you need a lipidogram so as to know lipid profile. Thus, consult your doctor whether or not you are fitting in Metabolic Syndrome: which makes you moderate risk patient for Coronary Artery Disease. At age 48, menstrual periods can behave like this however you need to consult a gynecologist. Other problems can be tackled by your doctor, I am sure, your doctor will agree to suggestion to perform Fasting Blood Sugar, Lipidogram, an EKG- TMT if needed. First Drugs chosen for your Diabetes Mellitus are universally first...however do not underestimate role of diet and exercise. For Hypertension, I would go with ACE inhibitor with or without diuretic but do check with your doctor first. Your symptoms of sweating and feeling dizzy could be part of brittle diabetes due to widely fluctuating blood sugars (carry a glucometer with you). Another possibility is Menopausal Syndrome, your gynecologist is the best person to advise you about that.
I hope I have covered all your questions, get back should you want more suggestions.
With Best Wishes.
