Question : I am wondering if I should go to the emergency room right now. I am sweating a lot with little exertion. My body feels electrical tingling. I have neurophy. I don't feel good, but I have not pain. My blood pressure is normal. My pulse is normal.
Brief Answer:
Get some rest and report progress in 3hours!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.
I have reviewed your information fully. With normal blood pressure and pulse, there seem to be no immediate red flag warranting an urgent ER visit. This not withstanding, we have to put and eye on this and see how things are unfold in the next hours.
With the reported neuropathy, it is not unexpected to report electrical sensations all over the body. Paxil should be able to help with this.
For now, I recommend rest, control the blood pressure and pulse every hour and report the values to me if anything seems out of the normal or at the end of 3hours if all is going well. I will then make an informed decision then whether we need any emergency room visits or not.
I wish you well and hope to hear from you. i must precise that nothing has pointed to a possible heart attack here. If it were. it will not only occur with exertion but even at rest with breathing difficulties.
I wish you well.

Thank you for answering my question. Please tell me what are the symptoms of high or low blood sugar? I just had a blood test a couple of weeks ago and my doctor did not indicate any blood sugar issues. I am not certain my blood sugar was checked but I think it was because I had to fast and she indicated this was a comprehensive test.
Brief Answer:
Excessive hunger, fatigue, poor vision, fast heart rate, sweating, coma...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Low sugar can only be a transient observation. No one lives with low sugar for days. If you had low sugar, symptoms such as excessive hunger, fatigue, poor concentration, etc. If your doctor didn’t comment about it, it means there is no concern about the value.
I hope this helps.
