Is It A Problem Having Breathing Difficulty, Red Dots On Torso, Hot And Cold Flushes While Having Methotrexate?
my husband is on Methotrexate has been for some years now he is at the moment finding it hard to breath and he says his lung feels funny when he breaths he also has little red dots on his body maily torso and has the chills and gets hot and cold fulshes he hasnt been sleeping much is this a problem?
Liittle red dots are unlikely to be due to methotrexate as he had been using it since long so can't be a drug sensitivity.
My concern is that for what problem , was he started on Methotrexate? It is also possible , that that problem is progressing. As methotrexate is commonly given for autoimmune conditions.
He requires Xray Chest , ECG , LFT. And re-consideration of the underlying disease progression and treatment. And decision to continue or discontinue methotrexate would be the decision of your primary care physician,
