Breathing Problems

[Royalname]

Does anyone suffer with breathing problems while taking Gabapentin & amitripyline? It’s morea shortness of breathe, I run out of air while talking and walking etc, dropped the Gabapentin down, breathing is better but now pain is much much worse. Any tips to get round this?

It may be best to let your gp know about this, as it could be a side effect of your medication. And best not to change doses without discussing first xxx

Thank you for getting in touch. I lowered the dose, via the GP. Was just curious if other Fibro sufferers experienced the same x

You really need to go back and see your gp sweetie and let them know what is happening with you. I am very sure that they will change your medication. Good luck sweetie. Love and hugs 🤗🤗🌹🌹😘😘

Hi, I don't take any prescription drugs but do get shortness of breath. I saw my GP and was given an ECG to check heart which was fine. Best see your GP to double check as not everything is down to the fibro.
