Hi,

You should be seen and examined to make sure there are no cardiac problems that could be causing your symptoms. Although you may think there is a relationship with the drops it is more likely to be a separate issue. If you have the name of the drops, however, and truly believe your symptoms are direct side effects then.

As stated you should be checked out for possible other coronary issues having to do with coronary artery or pulmonary disease of some sort.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
