What Is Causing Extreme And Persistent Sweats And Chills Along With Headaches And Breathlessness At Night?
Brief Answer:
Lung Infection to be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can certainly understand your concern
As per your symptoms two important clinical conditions have to be ruled out.
One of them is Respiratory tract infection and the other is low blood glucose levels.
Hence it's mandatory to consider the following tests.
1. Complete blood count
2. Fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels
3. QBC for Malarial parasite
4. Chest X-ray
Further management if any is largely based on test results
Post your further queries if any
Thank you
