Razzles Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hello, I've been on Duloxetine 30mg (beta blocker) and Fludrocortisone .1mg for about a month. I've also noticed that I've been experiencing throat pain/difficulty swallowing/breathing issues for about the same amount of time. It feels like my throat is a size too small and it feels like I'm coming down with something (sore throat feeling). There's a little amount of phlegm every now and then that I cough up, but nothing major. It feels like my Adam's apple area is being pinched. According to my oximeter, I'm getting enough air, so I don't think that my throat is swollen even if it feels like it. I was wondering if this was another POTS symptom or if it could be caused by my medications. Has anyone experienced the same thing? I can't get into my doctor until the end of next week, so I thought maybe I could find some answers/guidance here in the meantime. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weyland Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Some beta blockers can cause breathing problems . I've had side effects from beta blockers where it felt like I had asthma and I have never has asthma in my life . I have also started having breathing problems lately and I'm not on any meds currently. Not sure if it's from pots or deconditioning or what . I know how you feel ....

angelloz Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I have had a tight/ throat seems swollen a few times, and I absolutely get tender lymph nodes. Holding ice on my neck, throat area helps me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
