Anyone else find the side effects of Hydrea 500MG frightening?

I recently began daily 500 mg HU for ET. Platelet count is 1 million.
My doc said it’s a “low dose” and side effects minimal with low dose.
I have long COVID and have longstanding side effects - nothing new that I’ve noticed.
A listed possible drug side effect of HU is SOB and I thought How Rude!
I looked it up and it means Short of Breath!!
Be careful what you read…

I've had no side effects from 500mg Hydrea daily. I do get tired by afternoon but I have a lung/heart condition that caused that. A nap in the afternoon helps. I truly believe that whether you get side effects is all in your mindset. Don't read all the stuff on the internet!!
