What Causes Chest Pain?
Hi doctor, I am 36 years old female, I have been suffering from diabetes since my 2nd childbirth in 2001.
My diabetes management is rather bad my reading ranges more than 15 after food. I was on metformin 3 times a day 500mg, daonil 2 times a day. All these medications leads me to have cold sweat and tremors. I todl my doctor but they ask me to continue. Since I am working I actually cut down as it affects me during working hours.
My father has a history of diabetes and he passed on 5 years back due to ischaemic heart disease. He was a smoker and had 3 blockages in his valves - 85, 75, 80%. He was not suitable for a bypass due to his heart functioning was below 45%.
Recently a few months back I had chest pain and i went for a treadmill test the results shows ard 88% and the doc say he will not put me on medication first.
I would like to do a full medical check up that has links to diabetes. What are he check ups should i go for? I intend to do it in India, so which hospital would you recommend in Chennai or Tanjore?
