Is There Anything That Can Be Done To Reduce The Shortness Of Breath And Dizziness Which Are The Side Effects Of Enoxaparin?

My husband has been on enoxaparin for four years (for DVT) and has a few of the side effects listed. They are shortness of breath, dizziness (when getting up from chair or bed), fatigue, weakness, and heaviness in legs. He also went through chemo and radiation in 2010-11 (and is now cancer free!) Is there anything that can be done to improve his overall well-being.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Your husband is using enoxaparin, since 4 years, and now you are facing short ness of breath, postural hypo tension,fatigue, weakness, and heavyness in lungs.
I advise you to consult your doctor foe these side effects. He may change the drug, or may minimise the dose.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods for maintenance of good health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
