Med side effects

Hello folks,

Just a gentle enquiry about meds. I have been on Bisoprolol and Ramipril since my surgery four years ago. For those four years, the slightest exersion, like walking my poodle cross (and I mean walking) has left me in a bath of sweat, even in the cold weather wearing what Grannie would call "not nearly enough". Also breathless arrives very quickly too, one flight of stairs will do it.

Has anyone else had these side effects? I need some info before taking to my doctor.

Thank you, and stay safe and well.

Hi Tweedsider, I think it would be good to talk to your Cardiologist to check why you are feeling so tired and breathless. You don't say whether you have felt this way the entire 4 years or more noticibly in recent times. Always good to check, to keep ticking along!

Hi Zemer. I don't feel tired. What I do feel is very sweaty and occasionally out of breath, and I have done since I left hospital almost four years ago. Neither condition was evident before my aortic dissection, and it's ensuing medication. I don't have a cardiologist, since cardiology signed me off three years ago. It would be my GP that I speak to.

Thanks for your answer though. I will keep ticking along, I am just happy to be around and able to annoy people.

Stay safe and stay well.

Not what you're looking for?
