Has anyone ever came across feeling not breathless as such but ever so slightly when breathing out? I am on 20mg methotrexate weekly and 200mg hydroxychcloroquine daily. Could the drugs be causing it?

Hi,

I'm too on 20mg methotrexate and take 200mg twice a day of Hydroxychloroquine tablets. I get breathless a little and have to slow down and take deep breaths as if I'm anxious. With this hot weather I feel this happens more often!

Sorry forgot to add not sure if drugs but I have become sun sensitive with the methotrexate and I have a feeling of pins and needles tingling on my arms after I've been in the sun :-(

Hi Louise - one of the warnings for mtx is not to sit in the sun. Please make sure you are covered up when out as it does cause problems. Xx

Thanks to you all for your replies - it must be the drugs and also the skin sensitivity to the sun is quite scary even with a high factor on.

Enjoy your day.

Hi,

Yes I'm not sitting in the sun anymore I head for the shade! I joked with my Mum that as I'm sensitive to the sun it will be a record breaking summer..... True at the moment, lol
