[drodriguez2568]

i just recently recieve this life changing news. im getting truvada once a day and isentress twice a day i have been having dry mouth at nite and legg cramps in my knees and also in my back. i have been taking these medication for a while im starting to get a little afraid my blood test come back negative for anything bad i dont really know the numbers of anythign but my ID doctor has not said anything was wrong. He did ask me if my pain was in one leg or two i dont really know what the concern as long as there is pain. but my question is if my leg and back mucles are giving me a problem can these medications affect the main muscle my heart and cause heart attack or stroke.

That is a discussion you need to be making with your primary care physician and your ID doctor. Just because you have HIV doesn't prevent your from having other illnesses unrelated to HIV nor should you try to put blame on your medication without having a consultation with your ID doctor. Your meds may not have anything to do with your symptoms. Don't shrug it off, find out what is going on.

my test said no mycardial perfusion abnormalities but left ventricular dysfunction of ef 39% i have been looking around the internet to make sence of this. I looked up what vascular disease means, im wondering if the meds will have any effect on my heart and should i look into something alternative to take instead if there are safer drugs that will keep me mroe stable what do you recommend.

Leg pain can be a sign of vascular disease.
