Well, about 90 minutes after my 2nd dose I had my side effects, again. I didn't have my BP monitor on me so I had no way of telling, but I felt the same things as the weeks prior. Shortness of breath, flushed, slow pulse.
The only thing I can think is either I'm having a bad reaction to the medication itself, or it's the daily ammount of caffeine I'm consuming. I had about 7 cups yesterday which is a lot. I've read that parnate and caffeine do not mix. Right after taking my 2nd dose yesterday, I grabed a cup of joe and the problem started.
Today, I have had no coffee what so ever. It's a stuggle, but I need to rule out if this is a medication issue, or I'm taking something with it that is causing it.
So far, my first dose I have been fine. BP is steady at 117/78 at first reading and 120/79 on the 2nd. Pulse is normal, around 80bpm. No issues so far. I will write back later after I take my 2nd dose. If it happens again, I will call this med a fail and contact my doctor for the next one.
