My father-in-law, who has diabetes and a heart condition, recently recovered from COVID-19 and was taken off his medications?including Forxiga, Amaryl, Ecosprin 75 AV, Urimax F, Afoglip, Samiti, Zoryl 2, and Razi D?due to low blood sugar. Now that he is only taking multivitamins, sleeping pills, and gas medication, but is still experiencing low blood sugar (currently 90), weakness when walking, anxiety, restlessness, confusion, and lower back pain despite having normal blood pressure and oxygen levels, what should we do?
While a blood sugar of 90 mg/dL is generally stable, his symptoms of confusion, weakness, and restlessness require prompt medical attention, especially after stopping essential medications like Ecosprin 75 AV, Forxiga, and Urimax F. In a 92-year-old recovering from COVID-19, these symptoms can indicate dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or the sudden pause of his heart therapies. Please contact his doctor immediately for an urgent evaluation and blood tests to safely adjust his treatment plan. In the meantime, keep him well-hydrated and offer small, frequent meals.
