I was on Plavix at first but it caused severe chills followed by 102 fever. Then I was put on the Brilinta. Seemed ok at first but then started having the severe shortness of breath. I am having surgery tomorrow so I have been off of it for the past 5 days…feel so much better! Just scared now as to what they will put me on after the surgery. I am facing a two week bleeding risk so that will limit what I can be put on.

Tell them of the bad side effects ..I told my heart dr's office the reply I got was he was unaware of any breathing issues .. so I took it upon myself to go to my PCP and override what he had prescribed .. good luck with your surgery ..
