Answer:
You have so many symptoms that it is very hard to know for sure what is going on. The only real way to know is to have the bloodwork done (which will also check your thyroid level). I pray that whatever is going on with your body can be fixed easily and you begin to feel better soon. Best wishes.

Stressing about it will only make it worse. Try not to worry too much. It may be something minor, easily treated. - no-one here can diagnose you honey - you MUST talk to a doctor.Make a detailed list of your symptoms and when they occur BEFORE you go to your doctor. (It's easy to forget one or two that might be important) Be sure to explain them clearly and let the doctor know that diabetes is in the family.Thyroid issues can be identified via a simple blood test - ask your doctor to request it. Stay away from Coke until you know what's wrong.Good luck - feel better soon!

I have hypothyroidism. It is an under-active thryroid meaning that your organs have to work overtime to function. It causes weight gain, depression, anemia, brittle nails, water retention, dry hair and even constipation. If you have it, the doctors will give you a synthetic thyroid hormone replacement pill to take daily in a.m.. The tests are called TSH and T-4. But have a complete blood work done, so they can check glucose and anemia or white blood cell count. It could be something more serious also but probably not. You DO need to get these symptoms checked out.

Go to Yahoo Health, click Diabetes, from there type Diabetic symptoms. You are having both the symptoms of low blood sugar and high blood sugar. Remember that breads %26 starches turn into sugar FAST. Watch your portions( what size meal you have). All foods turn into sugar, but some foods raise alot, then some like fruits %26 veggies raise them normally. Get to the doctor QUICKLY. If your symptoms get worse before your appt. go to the Emergency Room. The ringing in your ears- either you are allergic to medication or a food/ or you're having your blood pressure rise due to high blood sugar. Get your thyroid checked too. THAT can make you pass out. Your sugar leval plays a part in your thyroid complications. Get a Diabetic Dietician in order to find out what foods to avoid. I know its hard. I like certain foods like pizza. Get a list on resturuant foods that you can eat in moderation. Hope this helps. P.S. Get some Glucose Tablets from Walgrens, Walmart or any pharmacy that carries them. The tablets help when your sugar drops and you feel faint. Keep that Appt. W/ the doctor.

For right now until you see your doctor stay off drinks except water unless they are diet drinks ( I know, you may not like them but diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Mt. Dew taste better than the rest) stay off sweets unless they are sugar free. Listen to your doctor carefully, he will check your thyroid and sugar level and will give you the proper medication, it's very important that you follow his advice. He will give you a diet plan and once you get started the change won't be hard on you at all. It won't take long for it to just come naturally. Diabetes is serious and it is important that you control it if you find out that this is what you have.

Both thyroid and diabetic testing is a blood test. See the docror and asked for a TSH, free t4, free t3, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, and an A1C. You should find out if you have a problem with these tests.
