Extreme Shortness Of Breath, Weakness In Legs. Caused By Clonidine Taken For High BP?
I have been having extreme shortness of breath for about the last 2 months even with little exertion. I am taking 0.2mg Clonidine three times a day for my high blood pressure. I was taking 0.1mg and increased it to the 0.2mg apprx 5 months ago. I also have weakness in my legs. Could it be the Clonidine? My blood pressure is still too high.
