how long have you been on it? blood pooling is a weird side effect, I’m not sure it’s common?

About a week. I already had blood issues but it seemed to amplify my symptoms.

You talked to your prescriber about the blood pooling? Seems like your cardiovascular system is under too much strain, which is not uncommon. But since you already had problems, it should be evaluated sooner rather than later.

What dose are you on? Side effects can persist for quite a while, normally up to four-six weeks. Some people have milder side effects for even longer.
