hello , moaning mini here again 😊

I take Adizam, clopidogrel, Candestarten and avostatin and in the last four or five weeks I feel absolutely wacked.

I was walking 5 miles a day and pretty active , now I’m sleeping all the time ,feel so tired it’s unbelievable , having shortness of breath and have the worse heartburn weather I eat or not , my legs are tingling like they have water in hem but I can’t see any signs of swelling 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am seeing the doctor tomorrow but wondered if anyone else out there had any ideas or had anything similar 😊

Might be a side effect of your meds, or it might be a symptom of whatever you are suffering from. I feel exhausted much of the time for no apparent reason. A daily walk is probably a good idea, but it is hard to motivate yourself at this time of year.

I am on clopidogrel still, sometimes get an upset stomach and blame it on meds. I was on atorvastatin and have had to stop taking it, had stopped it before for 2 wees on doc's instructions then told to try it again. saw another doctor and spoke about atorvastatin, was told at that time to look at statins on internet and see what other one I felt I could take?? Anyway, a lot of statins say no to take if on amlodipine or losartan, not sure which it is right now but am on both. I am waiting on a delivery of a plant based tablet from Healthspan which is supposed to help with cholesterol, will give them a try. I also feel that the astorvastatin was affecting my sleep. I used to take it before bed time but then changed and tried to take it at tea time, no difference. Good luck with speaking to your doctor.
