Hi
Thanks for the query.
From your symptoms it appears that you are having an allergic reaction to the medication.
Low blood sugar and a fast heart rate may be signs of underlying infection.
It's better that you see your doctor ASAP and if that's not possible you should go the ER.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
