I was diagnosed with Lupus through blood profile. Sent to Rheumatologist and completed another blood profile which showed me negative for Lupus, and Sjogrens, and positive for Raynaud’s. The doctor was surprised at my inflammation level, and admistered Hydroxichloroquine. I had a sever reaction, as I was also on Metoprolol for a heart attack, and was trying to manage side effects from that drug daily. Stopped the Hydroxichloroquine, but still suffer the side effects of the Metoprolol, which are some of the symptoms of Lupus and Sjogren’s. Could this drug’s side effects be the cause of my symptoms and inflammation?
Metoprolol caused terrible blood Pressure issues. 211/110. I have yet to be diagnosed. But I've been learning what I need to do to get that. My latest Dr. is willing to do whatever she needs to do to get me the help.
How can i help with my saliva? It's really my worst symptom right now. Water and gel and lozenges don't help.
Is there going to be a part 2 with recommendations?
