Can Effient Cause Rapid Heartbeat And Difficulty Breathing? (Top voted first)

Updated

Soon after my 86 year old mother takes Effient she gets rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing. She is going to call her cardiologist tomorrow when they are open.

Is this serious?

Should she stop taking the drug immediately?

She has been taking it about 3 weeks.

Actually today for the 1st time she has not had any side effects.

We are awaiting a call from her cardiologist.

Most decisions concerning medicine are subjective. Even by professional doctors.

Are these side effect serious enough that that she should stop taking it even if they go way?

Yes, those can be side effects of this medication, according to the U.S. FDA. She may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and blurry vision.

How long has she been taking it? Side effects usually go away, after awhile, once your body gets used to a medication, but that could take about a month.
