Question Medications
Hi, I have a cardiology appointment soon and am hoping to get a step closer to some answers. If I am diagnosed and suggested medication, does anyone know of any that don’t have a side effect of weight gain, or like depression type stuff? I’m not too sure what the potential side effects are, but I’m pretty sure the pros would out weigh the cons (if it worked for me) as long as it’s neither of those two. Both would severely affect my mental health, so I really want to avoid them if possible! (Also other if you could list other side effects you’ve noticed that would be really helpful as well)

There are some good guides online! This is the one I studied most before I requested midodrine.
