Brief Answer:
Visit ER.EXamination, ECG sos

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the quick revert.

Glad that your blood pressure and sugars are pretty fine.

Since you have been taking anti-arrhythmic, anti-coagulant and hypoglycemic agents/antihypertensives I were to do a physical examination and do an ECG to screen and make sure everything is fine.In case the ECG is normal then these are due to the side effects of the drugs(most likely Multaq and niacin).

I would also want evaluate for Vitamin D, calcium levels and vitamin B12 which are equally important & manifest in a similar way.Ask for nerve conduction tests once you are stable.I hope that you have an insurance cover and recommend you to visit the ER for examination and ECG.

Hope this answers your query.
