SO IVE BEEN WAITING YEARS TO GET MY DIAGNOSES AND BE ABLE TO GET ON TREATMENT. YEARS OF SUFFERING HORRIBLY! IVE BEEN TAKING HYDROCHLOROQUINE AROUND 5 WEEKS NOW. JUST ABOUT THIS WHOLE TIME IVE BEEN EXPERIENCING RAPID HEART BEATS EVERY NOW AND THEN. ALSO AS SOON AS I STARTED TAKING IT I STARTED FEELING LIKE I WAS CATCHING A HEAD COLD, SOAR THROAT.FEELS LIKE I HAVE ALOT OF MUCUS IN MY CHEST. A FEW DAYS AGO I RAN OUT AN COULDNT MAKE IT TO THE STORE TO GET MY REFILL. DAY ONE I WAS FINE, COME DAY TWO I COULDNT EVEN PICK MY HEAD UP OFF MY PILLOW I WAS SO WEAK AND DIZZY. I WAS ACTUALLY SHOCKED BY THIS AFFECT. IVE ONLY BEEN TAKING IT FOR 4 WEEKS AT THIS POINT. AND ONLY OUT FOR 2 DAYS. WHAT I NOTICED WHEN I FINALLY TOOK MY MEDS THAT THIRD DAY WAS I FELT STRONGER AND WAS NOT DIZZY BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I REALIZED THAT WHILE I WAS OUT THE RAPID HEARTBEAT WENT AWAY AS WELL AS THE YUCKY MUCUS HEAD AND CHEST COLD FEELING AND RETURNED WITHIN HOURS OF STARTING BACK ON THIS MED. I AM A SMOKER BUT NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH HEARTRATE BEFORE. WHEN I TRY TO SMOKE A CIGARETTE MY HEART STARTS GOING CRAZY AN HURTING A LITTLE AN MY LUNGS. WHEN I WAS OUT OF THE HYDROCHLOROQUINE I SMOKED JUST FINE WITHOUT ANY RAPID HEARTRATE OR HURTING OF MY LUNGS. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THIS WITH THIS TREATMENT? I AM SO SCARED TO GO INTO THE HOSPITAL AN BE TOLD I CANT TAKE THIS MEDICATION ANY LONGER. IVE WAITED SO LONG. I REALIZE THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE CRAZY. FOR SOME IT WOULD BE NO CONTEST TO GO ON INTO THE HOSPITAL INSTEAD OF HAVING A HEARTATTACK OR STROKING OUT. ITS JUST WHEN U HAVE BEEN TORTURED FOR YEARS AND U HAVE ANY SHOT AT BEING FREED A TINY BIT FROM SYMPTOMS U TEND TO WANT TO IGNORE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT COULD COMPROMISE YOUR TREATMENT. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ON THIS PLEASE REPLY! THANKS!!!!!
I really think you need to see your doctor.
This is almost certainly not related to your Plaquenil and you should see your doctor
