Shortness of breath
Anyone who experienced shortness of breath after starting with Saxenda? Maybe in combination with herbal tea with melatonin?
I’m using Saxenda for roughly 7 weeks now and I’m at the maximum 3mg dose. Two weeks ago, I noticed I’m getting more and more shortness of breath. It’s not as if I’m choking but unable to breath deeper than normally. Especially, when exercising. Went back to my GP but there shouldn’t be a relation between Saxenda and breathing issues.
The only other thing I can think of is the ‘sleepy tea’ I drink to fall asleep easier. It’s from a regular German store/brand so no actual medication. Was drinking this for over a year before bed and never had issue before. The breathing issues seem to be less when I don’t drink the tea for some days. I’m wondering if there is an actual relation due to some ingredients or it is just coincidence.
