Good Morning!
I've purposely been holding off on making any statements about how I'm doing on the lower 2.5mg dose because I wanted to make sure it wasn't just in my head. I certainly had a bit of anxienty over changing the dose because I didn't want to lose how amazing I was feeling, and also recognize that emotions/fear are not reality. I've been on the lower dose for 3 weeks now and while I still feel pretty good in general, I've defintely noticed that I start to get out of breath after about 1/2 mile of walking. Thankfully no chest tightness like before being on this drug, but defintely have lost some of my new found "omgIfeelGreat!"
I'm going in for my next echo on friday so we'll see.

Hi Hans-Thank you so much for your response. Yep I feel the same way. I have had some chest tightness and feeling like someone is squeezing my heart at times. Please let me know what your doctor says. I go to mine on Monday and I will let you know what he says as well. Take care! 🙂
