Can a high medication dosage cause chills?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My friend suddenly feels chills all over her body after taking a beta blocker, calcium channel blocker, Clopidogrel, Aspirin, and Atorvastatin. She is unable to stand, walk, or move. The BP monitor shows an error and does not display any blood pressure value. When checked with a sphygmomanometer, there are no Korotkoff sounds at any point (indicating no detectable pulse). Additionally, she feels severe nausea and vomiting. What could be the problem? Could it be shock, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, or a heart attack?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have reviewed your query and understand that you are concerned about a patient experiencing a range of symptoms. Thank you for providing detailed information about the medications she is taking. Based on the information provided, it seems that her symptoms may be related to medication dosage. There is a possibility that, due to the combination of medications like calcium channel blockers and beta blockers, her blood pressure has dropped to a point where she feels pulseless, and experiences chills, vomiting, and weakness.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
