You have two concerning symptoms: * Breathlessness * Bilateral leg pain and you have also stopped your long-term nitroglycerin medication after the dog bite/rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccine itself is unlikely to directly cause persistent severe breathlessness, so this should not be assumed to be a vaccine reaction. More important possibilities include: * Worsening underlying ischemic heart disease/angina * Cardiac failure or reduced cardiac perfusion after stopping nitrates * Electrolyte or vascular issues * Less likely but important: DVT/vascular insufficiency or another systemic illness
Next Steps
Do not stop prescribed cardiac medicines without medical advice. You should review whether nitroglycerin or other cardiac medicines need to be restarted. * Continue the rabies vaccine schedule as advised unless a doctor specifically stops it. * Check: * ECG * Blood pressure and oxygen saturation * Cardiac evaluation * Basic blood tests * Examination of legs for swelling/tenderness
Health Tips
Red flag symptoms requiring emergency care * Chest pain/pressure * Severe or worsening breathlessness * Sweating or fainting * One leg becoming swollen/red * Bluish lips or low oxygen
