Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that it is important performing some tests in order to investigate on the possible causes of your complaints:
- Thyroid hormone levels
- Blood electrolytes
- Complete blood count
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Uric acid plasma levels
- Vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels
I don't think that these symptoms are related to your current medication. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
