What Causes Excessive Sweating While On Verapamil?
Question: I am 31 year old male. Healthy, exercise daily.
Recently prescribed verampil 80mg x 2 for migraine prevention.
Is this drug usually ok to take and continue to exercise? I have been told yes. I have noticed it makes me more sweaty that usual and more tired but otherwise nothing else.
just want to make sure it's normal for people to be able to take this medication and continue to exercise. Will it slow me down at all?
