Xeljanz Shortness Of Breath

Updated

When taking Xeljanz I'm finally able to stop prednisone after 30yrs. Now I'm having shortness of breath. It's so bad I can't walk to the next room and back without sitting down so I can get my heart to stop pounding and breathing back to normal. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks for any feedback.

Xeljanz has been known to cause trouble breathing, and high blood pressure, as side effects, either of which could causing your issues.

Have you consulted your doctor? It is very important to do so, in order to rule out any possibly dangerous issues.

Are you on any other medications? Did you taper off of the Prednisone?

Yes it took 5 months to taber off.Dr says its not the Xeljanz so I started taking again the same problem started so I stopped it.When taking Xeljanz it was helping with mobility if I can't breathe mobility doesn't seem to matter wondering if others are having problems too
