What Are The Side Effects Of Clonazepam?
Question: I a.m 72, have cancer, and am taking clonazepam for anxiety. My breasts have become very sore. Is this a side effect and is there anything I can do about it? my email is YYYY@YYYY .
Brief Answer:
clonazepam does not cause breast soreness.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
I think clonazepam does not cause breast soreness.
There must be some other reason to it. Anyhow, you can follow these tips to help in soreness of your breast:
1. When you’re in the shower, soap your breasts and gently massage them from the centre of your chest out to your armpits. This improves blood circulation and the drainage of lymph, the clear fluid that carries infection-fighting agents through your body.
2. Wrap the cold packs around breasts for atleast 10mins.The cold-pack treatment reduces swelling and the pain.
3. Consider wearing support bras.
4. Avoid foods containing saturated fats like butter, cheese.
5. You can take OTC drugs like ibuprofen for pain relief.
If the soreness still persists, please consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.
