Unusual symptoms: Yes, you should go for testing. Your symptoms could indicate hypoglycemia. However, your symptoms may be indicative of an autoimmune disease, which is not commonly evaluated on a first visit. You might ask your doctor to test you for autoimmune and inflammatory markers. If you know him or her well they may be willing to do this.
