Could be the meds being too strong for you hun......( thinking out loud here btw) try asking your teams advice hun if ur worried xxx

Contact your health professional immediately ! yes it could be the codeine , however it is possible to take up to 8 of those a day , so you are on a fairly low dose.
are you able to use your hands as before ? is your coordination the same?? please get advice asap xxx

Your bp or sugar may be low,my hubby goes like that but he has heart disease,diabetes and low bp.Get it checked out.Are you eating enough,do you usually have trouble with those pills,can you do without them?

It could be the meds, but any symptoms like this must be taken seriously. Ring NHS direct if in doubt.

Please let us know how you got on.

Hope you're ok.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a call back from Heartlands. Their follow up care is poor.
Ring your GP tomorrow if you are still worried.
Take care hun x
