Hi, @shivaamedeo - I see you've joined Mayo Clinic Connect recently, so I'd like to welcome you.

A few days of shortness of breath, tingling in your face, tension in your head and fatigue sound difficult. From what you said, it appears that you talked to your prescribing provider about the symptoms and that they examined you thoroughly.

It sounds wise to consider your (newish) medication, erenumab-aooe, subcutaneous route (Aimovig) as a potential culprit for the symptoms you've experienced, especially with the "normal" results of your testing.

I've found that when I take a new medication, I need to watch out for anything at all that is different in me. I often tell my husband I'm starting a newly prescribed medication and to please let me know if he notices anything. I've noticed a gamut of symptoms from starting different medications over time, from feeling tired, to tipsy, to sleeping poorly, to getting a rash.

Here is some information from Mayo Clinic on this migraine medication:

-Erenumab-aooe, subcutaneous route (Aimovig)

Hoping that especially the side effects information will be useful.

Are you still having the episodes? Has your doctor weighed in specifically about whether you are experiencing medication side effects?

Hi , still struggling with all those symptoms, the neurologist said it can not be side effect of Aimovig as I gave been taking it 3 years and these started 4 months ago. They found an infarction in my brain though so doing more tests to see what is the issue. The face numbness is constant these days unfortunately
