My mother is 92, was taking 50 mg of metropol for blood pressure, now dr, put her on 100 mg, because of afib, heart racing, she takes Coumadin also, and thyroid pill for over active thyroid, now she is feeling very weak in the legs and cannot walk far
Hi, This can be due to Carnitine deficiency that occurs post use of the thyroid and blood pressure medicines that she has been taking. Does she have swelling of her legs? You can talk to your physician about this and get the tablets changed. Taking analgesics and applying local gels will help. Thank you.
