| Metformin side effects
As I have posted earlier, I am feeling very low, sluggish, lot of body pains and dizzy from a few months and it has increased from the past month. Newly added is rapid heart beat and shortness of breath. At times I wondered if it is cardiac related also. But last night I didn't take my metformin 500mg which I have been taking twice a day from the past two weeks. And amazingly, I felt soooo better in the morning, no usual pounding headache or dizziness, so I skipped metformin at noon too, just to see what's going on. And I feel great with my normal energy levels and no headache or pains. I even had a pecan cake and mango juice high in sugar and carbs in the evening. Even then the bg levels are normal and no other symptoms.
So could all these symptoms be the side effects of metformin?? If so, what should I do..I know I have to talk to my doctor but before that should I discontinue using it? And what would be the alternative if I can't take metformin? Or does all this mean that the metformin is actually working?  |
