Dr Adi :

Hi there.

This is a good question, best answered by your doctor because it requires a little more digging into your medical history. However, what is more likely is that your symptoms are due to potential side effects of the medications you are taking. It sounds to me that you should have some blood tests done, including electrolytes, and maybe an ECG.

Please discuss with your doctor and ask if you are due for a blood test.
