Thanks for all the responses. Yes, my doctor knows gabapentin can cause fatigue and weakness. But this has happened periodically over the last month, usually when I start to eat. It's a sudden weak feeling, which goes away but leaves me tired. We thought it was blood pressure or blood sugar. That's why I had the stress test and A1C diabetic testing. I'm prediabetic and sometimes had that weakness, every 6 months or so. Checking my blood sugar and blood pressure when this happens and usually normal.
I take 300 mg Gabapentin only at night. It seems to be worn off when these episodes happen. I have to try eating every couple of hours. I don't have the appetite I used to.
Allergist suggested x-ray because my breathing test was normal but I feel out of breath sometimes. Now I have a cold so hard to tell. It will probably be normal but I'm trying to rule things out!
I asked T to call me and she said to call her in an hour and a half. I hope she doesn't try to persuade me to see a pdoc but I think she will! Not because of the weak feeling but because I've been depressed due to all of this. Plus the blood clot!
I'll answer individually too, in a while.
