Bad side-effects from the medications.

0 Replies

Hello. I am a guy in my mid-fifties who had a heart attack 3 weeks ago and since leaving hospital, I have been on a large cocktail of drugs and am struggling physically and mentally. As, I am having lots of side effects, such as shortness of breath, exhaustion, drowsiness, red and flaky skin, difficulty sleeping, panicky feelings, aches and pains in most of the body, and feeling cold. Although, the medication has been reviewed and altered I am still struggling.

Does anyone have any similar experiences and any tips on how you have coped and what has worked for you. More importantly, how long it has taken for your side-effects to reduce, or to go away.

Please do share and it will be really appreciated. Thank you all very much, (Pumpkin).
