Good morning for 2 years on a 2mg pitam. I notice more and more problems in myself, especially with the muscles of my hands, when hitting something with a hammer for a long time, it's as if there is no strength. The cardiologist doesn't want to hear that it's from pitamet, because it's a good drug and he doesn't want me to stop this filth, and I'm afraid myself. I'm resigned, what to do?

Muscle weakness can have a variety of causes, including side effects of medications, electrolyte imbalances, or neurological problems.
Pitamet rarely causes direct muscle weakness, but some patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue or cramping. It is important not to stop treatment on your own – sudden discontinuation can be dangerous for the heart.
The safest thing to do in this situation is to consult your doctor and ask for blood tests (e.g. electrolytes, complete blood count, CK) and, if necessary, consult a neurologist or internist to assess the causes of muscle weakness. You may also discuss with your doctor the possibility of changing your dose or medication while maintaining cardiac safety.
