What Causes Shortness Of Breath While On Clopidogrel, Labetalol And Amlodipine Besylate?

Hi, I was put on clopidogrel 75 mg, labetalol 200 mg and amlodipine besylate 5mg after the placement of a stent one year ago. When I exert myself, I experience shortness of breath. I have had many tests including EKG, Ultrasound, stress test and all come back in the normal range. Can one of these drugs be causing the shortness of breath? Thank you, Wally

Hello,

Consult a physician and get evaluated. A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause. An echo test is required to rule out cardiac causes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
