Hello. I Am Wondering If The Side Effects I Am
Question: Hello. I am wondering if the side effects I am feeling are because of my anxiety medicine that I am taking or if there is something seriously wrong with me. I have had chest pains, SOB, muscle pain, insomnia, abdominal pain here and there, and difficulty sleeping for almost a month now. I am typically an anxious person so my PCP started me on BUSBAR 2x a day. I was anxious prior to al of this happening so I don’t know what to think after just starting it.
I took 2 EKGS a chest x ray and an echocardiogram and all my results came back okay. I have some mild regurgitation in 3/4 of my valves but my PCP said it’s so mild there’s nothing tk worry about.

Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and well being and I would like to tell you that BuSpar contain buspirone which is commonly used for treating anxiety.
The most common side effects associated with its use includes:
1. Dizziness and drowsiness
2. Nausea
3. Flatulence
4. Diarrhoea
5. Tachycardia
6. Rashes
7. Dry mouth
8. Occasion muscle ache
As all your basic cardiac tests have come out to be normal which almost gives a confirmation that there is no cardiac issue in your case.
So in nutshell all these symptoms are basically the result of your stress/ anxiousness and there is nothing serious wrong with you.
I would like to suggest a you to start practising meditation and yoga as many of my patients who were suffering from anxiety got benefitted after starting that.
Also important is to strictly follow healthy lifestyle routine.
I hope this information will guide you properly and will relieve your stress.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
