Waiting room symptoms and conditions

Was prescribed it for prostate infection. Turned pale, sweating, dizziness , vomiting. I went to the ER there was a 4-5 hour wait , went home after 2 hours, I couldn't handle the ER waiting room. The worst 24-36 hours in my life. Now on Bactrim.

I have been taking 10mg of Lisinopril once a day for about a month, at 1st I was prepared to become dizzy due to the warning on the label, however, that never happen. I continued to take it and noticed I was just tired all the time, walking short distances - I became very fatigued in my legs, I would wake up coughing almost choking, terrible headaches which wouldn't go away, feeling bloated, sinus pressure, I would wake up with my head just pounding, increased body temp, but would also get cold really easily. I just thought maybe it was me and perhaps I just wasn't sleeping enough or stressed out, couldn't really understand why I was feeling this way. This weekend, was the worst, I could tell there was something wrong, I couldn't do anything without my blood pressure rising --- my head was killing me. I stayed still most of the day and took aspirin to try to ease my headache. Nothing seem to work, my husband was so worried he wanted me to go to the ER. Being I know it takes a long time in the ER I really just didn't want to have to sit for hours in a waiting room, I didn't go. I started thinking about when I started getting these symptoms -- it was around the same time I started taking Lisinopril. So I looked it up online and saw the side effects - I decided I'd stop taking it. The next day, my headache went away and I've been feeling better since I stop taking it. I know my blood pressure is still high; which is why I was taking this medication to begin with, but it isn't bad as it was when I was taking it. I'm not sure if it can cause your blood pressure to increase, but for some reason mine did. I called my doctor's office today, my doctor isn't in, but I'm not going to be taking this medication any longer. Thanks to everyone who has posted about your experience - maybe it's not all in my head!

Well, we just got out of the ENT and he couldn't believe that his ped put him on Singulair. He said he didn't like it, it wasn't a good drug, and hadn't heard of many good things about it. He also told me to take my son off immediately, to bad I already had. He also wanted me to put him back on Zyrtec but only when needed, not every day like he had been taking it. Told him about how the neb. had been talked about so he listened to my little one's lungs and he said that they are all clear and there is no need for one. While I was in this appointment, his ped. called. She said that she had never heard of any side effects with this and she wanted him to stay on it for a week to see if it worked or not. Sorry we aren't doing that, we had four doses of it and that is more than enough to say we aren't staying with it. This is just his first full day off the med and I shouldn't get all worked up but while in the waiting room to see the ENT we had two huge fits and even hit his head on one of the chairs because he didn't get his way. The ENT said to give him about a week to go threw "detox" and get it out of his system and then he should be back to himself.

Also, on top of the big mood changes and swings we didn't sleep good last night and had another fit of rage in the waiting room of the ENT. Not fun at all.

Let me just start off by saying that I have not had any allergic reactions to medications before. I don't have allergies to any foods or external stimuli like dust or pollen. But literally two minutes after taking Avelox, I started sneezing uncontrollably. Then my nose filled with mucus and I started itching all over my body, most notably on my arms, legs, and scalp. Then I felt that my skin was burning. I looked in the mirror and my face and body were bright pink. I called the pharmacist and she told me to take Benadryl and if my throat started to close up I should go to the hospital. Well, I didn't have any Benadryl, because I don't have any allergies, so I had to drive three blocks to the CVS. At this point, my face is starting to swell up: my eyelids, my nose, my lips and my ears are twice their normal size. I have hives all over my arms and legs. I'm shaking because I feel so cold--my body temperature was only 94 degrees. I took two Benadryl but it didn't really work until I took the 2nd dose four hours later. I ended up at the hospital because I felt like there was something stuck in my throat and was unsure whether that meant that my throat was closing up, but they were so busy that I never made it past triage, where my blood pressure was only 80/40 and my heart rate was 120. We waited in the waiting room until I was able to take the second dose of Benadryl and left. All this after only one dose. I would advise extreme caution with Avelox.

I had the Mirena inserted January 2007. Thought it would be the best option since I forgot to take the pill. It hurt like CRAZY, I swore and screamed that the other patients in the waiting room looked at me funny when I came out.
In one year I picked up over 20kg's, even though my eating habits and exercise patterns haven't changed. I also became EXTREMELY depressed, my doctor then told me it sounds as though I'm Bipolar. I refused to accept it and just got on with life, towards the end of last year I became addicted to sleeping pills, just to take the edge off my severe mood swings. I started cutting myself, broke up with my boyfriend for no apparent reason etc. I had it removed last week on valentines day and my Gynie put me on Yasmin. Hopefully my moods will start to stabilize now. I asked the gynie who put it in if the Mirena could cause such drastic changes in my body and she said no because apparently the hormones are localized. I believe this is sooooo untrue! If you're pregnant, it's all happening in your womb, yet your whole body goes through a change.
ps, the removal didn't hurt at all! And I'm so happy that the thing is out!

i went to the dr. due to a herniated disc. i received an injection in the bottom. before the nurse took the needle out i statred to feel funny. i thought it was because i was thinking about it too much.but before i could walk all the way to the waiting room i felt nausea and faint. i sat down waiting for my release papers. i stood up asked the recpt. if i could lay down some where. i was trying to breath normal, but was starting to faint. i told her i was going to faint, she went to get the dr. i had then passed out. i believe i had an allergic reaction. i was sweating,cold and clamy. i think i was out for a few moments. woke up on the floor. i did start to sneezing, scratchy throat. i did lay there for a while. they checked by blood pressure from time to time. aftr bout 30 min i was able to leave. had allergy syptoms all night but seem fine now.

My name is Logan and I am a health care worker. I started taking Lipitor a bout a year and a half ago. I only took it for approx. one month. I do not usually take medication of any sorts. I got fooled into taking the drug. It was not explained to me the side effects. I started hurting in my Rt. elbow. I was then said to have tennis elbow. Because of the work that I do. I have never had pain before. I had cortazone shot and it lasted for a few months. I have sinse then gradually got my stregnth back to being able to raise my arm without being in pain. I have sinse then been taking alovera juice daily. I have no pain, and I stay off drugs.
I also have a sister that had been taking the same medication for approx a year and a half and she is curently in the I.C.U from a tumor that formed in her stomach and was removed a year ago. She has the supposedly rareist form of sacarma. I talked to a person in the waiting room and she was there for her dying father, but said that she had an operation three weeks ago of sacarma. and she also lost her Lt. kidney just like my sister. I was courious, so I asked her if she was on any colestrol lowering medication. she said that she was on Lipitor for 2 years and is still on it. She said that she was also a Pharmist. She said that it was not the Lipitor. I beg the difference. I would like to know how many others out here that has problems like this. Will they just continue to cover it up?
