Be careful about med interactions

[Guest guest]

Once again I learned the hard way about medication interactions.

I've been having horrible chest tightness and pressure like someone is standing

on my chest. Shortness of breath, too.

Went to pcp office two times and to med center once. all unsure what caused

until it dawned on me that it might be my asthma, which doesn't show on chest

xrays or ekgs and can't always be heard.

I researched and found that a new med I was put on (atenelol) isn't supposed to

be taken by people with asthma! This got by Rite Aid who filled my inhalers (3

kinds) and atenelol, as well as my doctors!

Ugh! Be careful!
