What causes high fever and excessive breathing while having high blood sugar level?
Patient: Husband has belching, retching at times, 102.fever, weakness, pain in thighs, out of breath, what can that be? His blood test only showed sugar was high. Is not doing blood culture to check for infection in blood. Fever yesterday was 106 and last night - heavy, rapid breathing, worse than his normal sleep apnea. What do you suggest? he took xray today - no results yet. Doctor: since he is diabetic and he is having high fever and is sugar level is too high. he might have some urine infection because of increased glucose output in his urine it might cause some urine infection. better to do on urine culture and to check whether any growth is present. taking antibiotics according to that might reduce the fever and infection.thank you.
