All these could also be a symptoms of insulin imbalance or diabetes. Has he changed his diet/exercise recently?
However what is your goal in disclosing this here? If a person walked through your door with an ax in his/her head would you require input from an on-line forum to act? So, if anyone answered; "Yes as a matter of fact, my 2nd cousin experienced the exact same symptoms and was dead in 10 hours." What would you do with that information?
Speculation and/or getting totally unqualified opinions based upon selectively disclosed 'facts' serves him how? Assuming serving him, and not bringing attention to yourself is the goal in the first place.
Yanno Merc, i don't always agree with what You post -- but to my knowledge at least, i have never been disrepectful to You here on the boards.
It seems to me that lately, You have become more and more acrebic in posting when You have a different POV. Maybe i'm wrong, but that's my observation.

pinkie,
I neither seek or consider valuable internet "respect". However, if I've established or generated any, I hope it is because, no matter the source of the thread/post, my responses are pointed to the issue and my opinion of the issue as represented. The way I look at it in this situation - the potential danger to the subject of this post is of more importance than worrying about disrespecting you. I find it amazing you don't feel the same.
This isn't a case of a differing POV. It is a matter of safety and, who knows, can be a matter of life and death. To seek advice on what to do in such a situation is either the product of ignorance, which I don't believe is the case, or the desire for attention and/or sympathy in 'coping'.
The situation you describe is serious. It brings to mind one of the main reasons that 'safe' words are dangerous for both parties relying on them in lieu of common sense. In a scene if serious injury is incurred and observed and the 'top' continues on, safe words provide a great excuse; "Wow - I thought she was just a heavy bottom. I saw the bone sticking out, but since she didn't use our agreed upon safe word; I kept going." If this person dies, will your excuse be; "He didn't let me take him to a Doctor."? Will that, combined with "I even started a post on CM about him!"; elevate your guilt? Is that your goal? In that case - I guess you've done all you can.
Pragmatically, with the background you claim, you should know better. If pointing that out to you is "disrespectful" maybe my assumptions regarding your intelligence is inaccurate. If so, please accept my apology.
Laffs. Make assumptions about my intelligence at Yr own risk, Merc; in some ways i'm quite bright; in others i'm quite dim.
He and i are supposed to have breakfast out on Wednesday. i'm not sure even now what to say to him, if anything. Writing the Op helped a little; reading the responses helped a little...not much more can be done on the boards.
It was helpful -- and a little scarey -- to read the wide variety of potential ailments such symptoms could signal. Stuff i would never have thought of on my own.
Maybe i can persuade him to see his heart doctor again; seems like any MD would want to make the correct diagnosis.
i agree with You about 'net 'respect'; it's illusory.
