What Should Be The Diagnosis After Hypoxic Attack In Diabetic Patient?
hello ...my mother in law is diabetic and from last 4 months she is suffering from chronic cough , hypoxia , pain in chest , her medical test are all normal .....she is n Amaryl ......last night she again had a hypoxic attack ...what should be the diagnosis ........please let me know
I carefully read your question and would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to a lung disfunction. Coronary artery disease can not be excluded either, considering the fact that she is a diabetic.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with her attending doctor for a careful physical check up and some tests:
- a resting ECG - a chest X ray study and respiratory function tests - a cardiac stress tests
You should discuss with her doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
