Why your taking carbimazole? Have you suffered from hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism patients may develop muscle weakness and palpitations.
If you stop drug then there may be increased chances of weakness.
So don't stop the drug immediately. Use a tablet without interruption. please consult your physician he will get it done thyroid profile and treat you accordingly.
Use tablet Ubinext LC twice a day for five days. I think I answered your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
