Taking Etricoxib For Chronic Body Pain. Have Frequent Bowel Movements. Feel Suffocation During Walking. Heart Problem?
Sir, I am 35 years old male. I am a smoker (6-8 cigarettes /day) and I take alcohol twice or thrice every week. I am also taking Etricoxib 60mg every day (once) for chronic body pain. I am having a problem of 3/4 times motion. Now I am experiencing a little suffocating during the first one Km of my walking exercise. After 1 Km I feel a bit relaxed. Am I suffering from any heart problem? Please advise.

Hello,
* It is not the heart-related problem, but side effect profile of the etoricoxib which can present with chest discomfort, suffocation, and bowel alterations.
* Must stop further doses of Etoricoxib and inform your doc`s office.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
