Tymlos side effects I've encountered

@candy209 I also have low blood pressure- the same as yours. I bought a home blood pressure monitor and used it at first before, and after, my injections. I hydrated well and sometimes ate something salty. Not sure if the salt was useful but it made me feel safer psychologically.

It does lower bp, but I was okay. I have afib that can be triggered occasionally and was afraid of that recurring, but when I started at two clicks and moved up slowly, I had no heart issues at all.

I think you are going to be 100% fine at two clicks of the pen, to start, (let your doc know) and will be able to move up to a therapeutic dose within a month. No need to be nervous about that low dose so maybe that is a place to start. Buy a blood pressure cuff at the drug store. Noone has had any serious heart or bp issues with Tymlos but might as well try to avoid the fears.

That’s good to know windyshores. I have the bp cuff and will monitor myself. I got a very mild case of Covid last year and only symptom was low bp. It was in the 80’s over high 40’s and they had me eating salt and it finally got back to normal. So I have been using more salt in preparation for tymlos. You make me feel more at ease about starting my tymlos. My endo doc doesn’t feel a partial dose works so only wants me on the full dose but I have the blessing from my primary care doc to start at two clicks. Also Dr Mc Cormick agrees with starting that way.
Thank you for all your support and words of encouragement.
All the best to you with your reclast test dose. Please let me know how that goes.
