Hi all,
I’ve recently started taking dapagliflozin again after experiencing some chest pain and a recommendation from the hospital to stop at the time. I contacted my cardiologist and he advised me to restart it but to try starting the ivabradine first and reintroduce the dapagliflozin 2 weeks later.
I did this and I had no issues with the ivabradine but I’ve been taking the dapagliflozin again for 5 days now and over the last couple of days I’ve started feeling really tired again and experiencing this winded feeling in my chest - almost like I’ve constantly just sprinted to “catch” one of my children and when I climb the 2 flights of stairs to bed at night my heart is still really racing for several minutes afterwards but I’m also noticing more ectopic beats.
I’ve been trying not to give it too much priority in my thoughts and I wouldn’t say I’m worried but obviously don’t want to end up with chest pains again if I can avoid it.
Has anyone one else experienced any of these symptoms during the early days of taking dapagliflozin? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Soap
