Suggest Remedies For Cold While On Metformin

I have been sick with the flu or cold for the last month. I have taken an antibiotic but still not well. Now I am coughing non-stop. I have been taking cough syrup around the clock and Claritan D. I had a physical about 3 weeks ago. I am over weight and my blood pressure was a little high. After a fast my blood sugar level was 105 but my doctor wants me to take Metformin because some number went from 21 to 39. Right now, I feel shaky, light headed and my arms and legs feel like rubber.
