I was in the ER the other day with the following that's been a daily for about 2-3 weeks & this day felt extreme:
Shortness of breath
Dizzy
Lightheaded, keep feeling like I'll pass out
Headache neck pain on left side
Chest pain, pressure
Fatigue
Weakness
Following comes & goes:
Shakes
Chills
Numb
Limbs cold
Center of back pain
Bradycardia is what the monitor kept saying & when I left my BP was still at 160/110. Was there for about 8 hours trying to my BP down. No luck. I have Lupus +other issues. Dr just sent me home with nothing to help my pain. He prescribed this but I feel I'm getting worse from its side effects.
I really don't want to continue this med. Last 3 days I've been spending my days in bed just trying to breathe. I get up and I can't focus. My vision feels like a projector. Plus everything I've read in this forum. Terrible.
I hope you guys are doing well.

YES, I took it 7 years and then flatlined from too many OTC meds when having a cold. Never took it since 2016.
Appreciate your response..and glad you are ok... I did stop and actually noticed the additional new symptoms start to dissipate.
