What Causes Dizziness And Shoulder Pain In A Hypertensive Person?

My husband just told me he had an episode of severe dizziness, feeling faint and what he describes as a cold sweat, soaking through his shirt, causing his hair to be wet and feeling clammy all over. He had no chest pain or heaviness, jaw, arm, or back/shoulder pain. His doctor heard no bruits in his carotids. He was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes (he might have had low blood sugar, he hadn t eaten anything since the evening before). He is being treated for hypertension but that has been controlled. He has not been diagnosed with sleep apnea, but he snores and often jerks from the waist down in his sleep, (in about a 1-3 minute cycle). Any thoughts?

Hi
It is like hypoglycaemic attack for faint,dizzy spell when BP Is controlled.he must have all tests for blood sugar, Hb1ac,glucose tolerance test,urine test co relating with blood test duration and frequency.
Peripheral neuropathy should be explored for jerks in leg,by neurobion physiological tests.

Methycobalamin 1500mcg daily be taken.consult a physician or diabetologist.

Diet should be small but 2 hourly.Daily diet charting be done and balanced diet with adequate calories according to physical occupation
