I have been taking Daxid 50 mg and Zapiz 0.25 mg at night for 12 years. Now I am having chest heaviness, muscle stiffness, breathlessness, and feeling unwell. What could be the reason, and what should I do?
New symptoms like chest heaviness, muscle stiffness, breathlessness, and feeling unwell can have several possible causes. It may be related to anxiety or panic symptoms returning, especially if stress levels are high. Long-term use of Zapiz 0.25 mg (clonazepam) can also lead to dependence, and any missed or delayed doses may cause withdrawal-like symptoms such as a tight chest, restlessness, and breathing discomfort. In some cases, these symptoms may also be due to heart or lung-related problems, thyroid imbalance, or side effects of medicines, so it is important not to assume it is only anxiety. Do not stop or change your medicines suddenly on your own. Please consult your doctor as soon as possible for a proper examination. Your doctor may check your blood pressure, ECG, oxygen levels, and basic blood tests to find the exact cause. If chest heaviness or breathlessness becomes severe or sudden, please seek medical help immediately.
