This is my first time commenting on this site. I have been on Metformin for years. I have been fatigued for a few years but have had wonderful blood glucose and other blood work results. I have shared the fatigue with my regular Dr. who has recently prescribed PT, has anyone else experienced “possible metaphormin”fatigue. Thanks Ruth

My experience might be relevant i took Metformin for a very short time. It caused me to have extreme blood pressure highs and lows. My blood pressure would soar dangerously high (190/100) both when I was hyperglycemic and/or hypoglycemic. I felt nervous and I shook. I also experienced episodes of great fatigue.
Obviously, I stopped taking Metformin. I am not diabetic but took it as a possible means of preventing my MGUS from progressing to malignancy. Metformin is in clinical trials for this.
