Have Any Of You Had Breathing Problems After Getting Your Prolia Shot?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Corvallis, MT

This summer I was in good health. In august I had the Prolia shot. In September I began having breathing problems. An X-ray and Scan show that my lungs are fine and my heart is not enlarged. The breathing is getting worse. I noticed on their literature that this is one of the side effects. Thanks for your thoughts.

Members shared their experiences with breathing problems, with one member describing shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and exhaustion after climbing stairs, while another suspected their Prolia shot might be the cause after scans ruled out lung and heart issues. Several members expressed fear about starting or continuing osteoporosis medications due to concerns about side effects and chemical sensitivities, with one member discovering through a cardiologist visit that a heart murmur might be contributing to their breathing difficulties. A recurring theme was uncertainty about whether symptoms were medication-related or stemmed from other health conditions, alongside hesitation about continuing Prolia treatment and plans to discuss alternatives with their doctors.

I've had a Prolia shot 6 months ago. I'm due for my next one. After doing research I would prefer not to have it. I see my doctor next week to talk about it.

Hi Lilli-
I actually went to a cardiologist today. He detected a murmur in my heart. So I am going to go in for a stress test.
He says that he will know more after I have the test.
I get so tired- if I have to stand up for very long.
That is when I feel like I might pass out. It is harder to breathe then.
I pray that you are doing ok.
Please, take care.
Hugs❤
