I've been started on Metformin (x1 500mg daily) and been taking it for about 3 - 4 weeks. Firstly, I noticed that my appetite has been greatly reduced (I can cope with this as I need to lose weight) but I've noticed that I generally feel 'unwell' can't really put my finger on it but I feel very lethargic, nauseous feel yukky so I went to see my GP this morning and she is sending me for a blood test to check thyroid amongst other things and an ECG (as I have been getting palpitations too). Just wondering if all these could be side effects from Metformin?
