Hi Doc good afternoon, am 27 and have been having some problems for a few months now, am burping constantly and very loudly, plus am suffering from a terrible hunger feeling, most times am getting up in the middle of the night to eat because am feeling hungry and at times i get a cold sweat like feeling that lasts for a while and then it goes, sometimes i feel dizzy in my head too, am so worried because i don t know what is going on. have used off the counter treatment for the gas issues that as helped me a great deal but its kinda still there. these symptoms are slowing me down and i don t know whats wrong. Doc can u tell me what can be causing these kinda symptoms, so you know of my family history, both on my mom and dad side they have sickness of diabetes and cancer . both grand mother died from these sicknesses. should i be worried about my health
Hi, there is a probability of suffering from diabetes. Your symptoms match with the disease entity. Anyway you should do at least a fasting and 2 hr postprandial blood sugar (after 75 gm of glucose intake). At present none of your symptoms goes in favor of cancer. So do not worry go for the basic investigations first. Take care.
