Dear sir i can understand your concern.
palpitations in diabetes may be due to hypoglycemia or due to hypotension also.
some antihypertensive medications like amlodipine also causes increased heart beat
i suggest you to check your sugar level during palpitations.
the pain may be due to a condition called postherpetic neuralgia i suggest you to meet doc and consider taking medicine for it in my opinion tab pregabalin 150 is a good choice.
I suppose I have given the desired response if you have any other query please write back.
Otherwise please accept & rate my answer. I will appreciate your review about my answer.
Best Regards.
