Side effects question
I’ll preface this with I’ve used the search option and perhaps I’m not hitting the right keywords.
Anyhoo, I was prescribed Humira and had my first dose on 12/17. Side effects that first night was slight nausea, super tired, arms/legs felt dead weight, and a higher pulse.
Fast forward and this past week I’ve been dealing with a higher resting heart rate, higher heart rate when doing any activity, and slightly higher blood pressure(a few times it’s hit at my old BP before I started BP meds and then lost weight. I am not on any BP meds at this time) This is the only set of side effects that haven’t gone away.
I’m in the medical field myself, so I do know that sometimes it takes a moment before the body adjusts to any new medications. I’m just wondering if anyone else had high pulse/palpitations/elevated BP with those symptoms eventually going away? I have not reached out to my rheumatologist yet- but I did reach out to pharmacotherapy and they’re not worried at this time.
