Bp Up With Chest Pains- Get Me Off This Drug

Updated

I have been taking lyrica for a 3 months now and I really want off. I have recently been having trouble with my blood pressure. It caused chest pains, shortness of breath, increased bp when getting up and walking. Been in the hospital twice now from the chest pains and my blood and ekg are fine. Seeing a cardiologist who says it it vasculitis. Someone help because I feel like I am being passed between specialists. I have MCTD and many problems with it. I am very nervous and my gut tells me that it is the Lyrica that has been the cause of my vasculitis.

Hello, Bonnie! How are you? I am very sorry about the problems that you're having.

Have you discussed it with your doctor? They should be able to help you taper off of the Lyrica to see whether or not it's contributing to your problems. You shouldn't stop taking it suddenly, because that could create the risk of seizures.

However, this medication has not been known to cause vasculitis, but there's really no way to say how any drug will affect any given person that takes it.

Go with your gut.Also since you've been in the hospital already ,this should be a wake up call. l read all the time of people that have gained 20to40 pounds being on lyrics. Get another opinion you owe it to yourself. Be your own advocate ,you are the one experiencing the pain. Good luck and maybe you can ask your doctor to reevaluate your pain .maybe you should ask about ms contain extended relief .This might work for pain better.God bless, Rocket666
