Hi everyone after some advice, they started me on the Ozempic in Feb the lower dose was ok no real issues moved to this does in march and haven't had a lot of issues other than upset tummy , been sick now and again to feeling really sickly and no appetite, past few nights I've not been sleeping well, 1st night I had really bad acid which woke me up on the night, to the next day after tea pardon my so in steph terms I couldnt keep my tea down, then on night my chest felt really odd, had a weird sensation then as you do you Google and panic even more, I pulled my left shoulder while moving house a few year ago and suffer now and again with pain in left side in back side and front left of body which makes my left side of chest ache , does anyone else get similar symptoms on these meds? Also I wore my fitness watch to bed last night and it said it went down to 35 bpm its normally on a night between 40/55 I'm panicking cos of that. I'm at nurse tomorrow so will mention it all tomorrow just after other peoples experiences tia for anyone's views/advice x


Medication I am on: Lisinopril 5mg tablets take 1 a day Metformin 500mg tablets 2 a day Ozempic 0.5mg/0.37ml solution for injection 1.5ml pre-filled pens (Novo Nordisk 1 a week.
 
I'm not on Ozempic, or insulin.
I was on Lisinopril for years (up to a year & half ago), and metformin. Amongst others. Only issue for me, that I'm aware of is low BP. Which is ironic, as I used to have high BP, which is why I was originally put on Lisinopril.

Reaction to meds can be individual though, and down to the combination too.
 
Hello @Emma19834 welcome to the forum, please explain everything you have told us to the nurse tomorrow, I suspect she/he will refer you to the Doctor. Trouble with muscle injuries they keep reoccurring and you think to yourself not again,
I think most of us have a similar problem through an injury of some sorts, might be worth asking for a referral to a Physio although most places allow you to make an appointment without a Dr`s referral.

Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow please keep in touch, we are a great virtual family and thankyou for joining us.
 
Thank you for your reply , I've had an ECG done nurse said it looked ok but I have an telephone appointment thursday with all results. But its affecting me sleeping I'm finding myself panicking on a night that something is wrong I'm not sure if I've got a bit of anxity about it. I'll mention on Thursday if I dont calm down. I am finding myself wearing my fit bit and constant checking my heart rate which isnt helping :( regards emma
