andybonse Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hey guys,Anyone noticed their breathing different on midodrine?I have noticed recently it feels like my lungs are half full and i take smaller breaths, it happens a few times a day usually when on Midodrine so not sure if its that or not?Really annoying since Midodrine really helps.

Chaos Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I feel like that and I'm on midodrine, but I was having that before I was on Midodrine as well so for me at least I think it's more of the dysautonomia than it is the meds.

Becia Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I never feel like I can catch a deep breath when my midodrine has kicked in. I gulp air essentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm on midodrine, but my breathing problems come and go so I don't know if that's my cause. You didn't have any episodes like that before you were on midodrine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahA33 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm also on midodrine and feel like I have to sometimes take double gasps at the same time to take in enough air. I never associated it with the midodrine because that's become a normal thing for me w/ the tachycardia. What's your HR like when you feel like this?

andybonse Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Well I always needed a deep breath feeling for years now not always this bad though.My hr and bp is perfect when it happens.Today I took 3.75mg my resting hr was 62 I stood up and it went to 70 I mean wow, I can stand and do stuff its amazing. Im working up to 5mg.Today my last and first dose didnt cause it so maybe its not midodrine. I said ok i wont take it today and see but ibfelt so bad without it I forgot how bad I was lol.
