What Causes Breathlessness And Dizziness While On Brilinta?

A Little over a year ago I had a stent put in and started taking Brillinta 90 mg twice a day. And now I am taking 60 mg twice a day. The bottom of both of my lungs have been damaged from spraying lacquer at work I have been able to have good breathing with my inhaler but recently my Breathing has changed. To where I walk a short distance and I m completely out of breath and lightheaded. Could this be from the Brillinta ?

Hi,

The symptoms that is being stated here may not be due to the medicine "Brillinta" but it can be due to cardio-pulmonary disease, as you have history of stent, for sure it is not the medicine but underlying cause of cardio-pulmonary vascular disease needs to be ruled out, second it can be due to low hemoglobin, general weakness, functional disorders.

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