Diarrhoea and low blood pressure
My father is suffering from diarrhoea from last 2 days. He has consulted a local physician and his condition is better but he had a heat stroke yesterday and his blood pressure dropped to 96/66 100 pulse. He's feeling nauseous and very weak. Can't even get out of his bed. Kindly advise. PS. He's a type 2 diabetic and on insulin.

Likely dehydration related. Hydrate him well. Consider IV fluids if extreme weakness or unable to hydrate orally or if BP remains low

Give him plenty of fluids, electrolytes, keep him in air-conditioned room. If he is not able to take oral feeds, admit him to a hospital for IV fluids and further evaluation.
