Could my 80-year-old grandfather's sudden severe weakness, shaking, and sweating after walking just a few steps be side effects of his lung medications, Montair 10 and Asthalin rotahaler, or are they linked to anxiety or a heart issue?
His symptoms of sudden weakness, shaking, and sweating could indeed be linked to his medications. Asthalin (salbutamol) can sometimes cause temporary shaking, sweating, or a fast heartbeat, especially after physical exertion. Montair (montelukast) is less likely to cause these specific symptoms. However, because these signs occur after walking just a few steps, they could also be related to an underlying heart condition or a drop in blood pressure. Since he is 80, it is best to have his doctor evaluate him promptly to ensure his safety and adjust his treatments if necessary.
