I am worried. I started taking levaquin just 3 days ago for a really bad kidney infection. However the medication within the first hour that I took it I developed a debilitating headache and within an hour got a nosebleed from my left nostril. I woke up the next morning feeling a little better and went on with my day and took my next dose of Leavaquin in the afternoon and within a couple of hours I developed yet another nosebleed from the same nostril accompanied by a minor headache. Went along with my day and didn't think much of it at the time then today took my dose at 2:00 and then by 4:00 another nosebleed with innercranial pressure and I feel very disoriented and dizzy. Im getting really scared that maybe Im having a stroke. Also have been feeling achy and bone/joint pain but was told that was normal.Another fact is my kidneys still hurt so I dont think the medication is doing the trick anyway. I've already been on Cipro and that didn't work either. I was prescribed the med by my on call doctor when the cipro stopped working from the ER. I am going to call back the hospital tomorrow morning and see if they have my cultures back from the lab and see what we can do about changing this drug and getting me cured for good.
