Avatar m tn Just wondered if anyone has suffered chronic nausea following antibiotics. I took erythromycin 3 months ago and have been feeling sick every since, every day. The doctor thinks my stomach is inflamed. Just interested if anyone else has suffered with this?
Avatar n tn My question is, i am almost postive this bout is due to the cold i just got over...do you think this could be bacterial or result of the virus? Should i go get antibiotics tomorrow, or just wait it out? As of now i have swollen neck glands, and both tonsils are swollen, although one much more than the other. That one is pussing, secreteing stones, and very red and swollen.
Avatar f tn I have an appointment with my GI doctor next week, he also tested me for celiac disease, which he told me he will call me before my appointment if I had it, I have not received a call yet. I guess my question is, is the nausea related to my GERD? did H.pylori cause my GERD? What could be the reason for my nausea?
317787 tn?1473358451 Some antibiotics can cause allergic reactions while others can cause direct damage to their liver, which can be quite severe in patients with chronic liver disease. For patients with a pre-existing liver disorder, the detoxification function of the liver is already compromised and substances that would normally be metabolized could actually accumulate in the liver or in the bloodstream.
Avatar f tn I have short breath, difficult breathing, chest congestion, deep tiredness, night sweat, swollen lymp node, sore throat, coating on tongue, bumps on back tongue, rash, numbness, fatigue, joint pain, headache, fever, nausea, heartburn, itch.... Seven months ago I got h. Pylori and chronic gastritis, and four months ago took antibiotics for 10 days, 9 weeks ago had unprotected anal and oral sex. 8 week after sex tested with 4 generation test and result negative.
Avatar f tn I haven't been on this site before, but just typed in nausea due to antibiotics for lyme disease. I've been on doxycycline 400 mgs a day, for 3 weeks. I've been nauseous for the last week or so, and vomiting today. I'm on a few other rx's too as well as a ton of supplements. I've been sick since last June, just FINALLY diagnosed with 2 positive tests about 2 months ago. Last week I tested for Bartonella, but my Dr. doesn't really know anything about it.
Avatar f tn The reverse flow of contents of the stomach cause a series of neurochemical transmissions, which cause nausea and dizziness. Normal GERD and stomach ulcer will not cause nausea if under control. However a person with severe uncontrolled acidity or when such a person is hungry or his stomach is empty except for the acid, he may feel nauseous. Also presence of an ulcer in the stomach or weak esophageal sphincter or the medcines you have been taking can complicate matter.
1232362 tn?1333135406 past few days have had intermittent headaches and now increasing nausea. i thought the antibiotics were the culprit and thought a day off would settle my stomach but when i googled these 2 symptoms w/Lyme found "intracranial pressure which can lead to blindness"-oh dear!!! of course I'm upset and going to dr as soon as it opens-any one else have these issues?? when i ask anyone "is this normal?
634590 tn?1293774093 I also took omeptrazole + other meds for 4 days. Diarrhoea is now cured and also no vomiting. But i feel heaviness and nausea after eating. Also feels very much weakness. Can anybody tell why is this ?
Avatar f tn No pain and nausea is hard one.. do you drink? That can cause major problems..liver..pancrease ...nausea just has so many possibilities sadly :( that's what i've learned.
Avatar f tn Im just worried about taking a new medication,, afraid it may cause the palpitations to be worse, better yet cause a dangerous arrythmia!! Any advice would be great!!
Avatar f tn It is on the safe list from my obgyn. I also researched it. Its fine in pregnancy. I'm just worried about a severe reaction that will cause bigger problems for me and my baby - throat swelling, etc.things that are highly unlikely. That's why my husband is irritated.
Avatar m tn m trying to learn more about why it causes certain things... Why does it cause these two things? anybody know? I get both of them from anxiety... also does anxiety cause actual stomach pain? no feeling nasuess, but actual stomach pain?
Avatar f tn Sometimes taking something like pepcid, tagamet or even tums about 15 minutes before taking pain meds or antibiotics helps stop or at least tone down the nausea. Check with the pharmacist first before doing that to make sure there are no contraindications. Boy I HATE bactrim! I had it once many, many years ago for a bladder infection but didn't have any trouble with it. That was before a generic was available so maybe that's part of the trouble.
Avatar n tn pls eeryone myine case is een differ from the previous comment.am seeeing blood in my sperm.
Avatar m tn Flagyl can cause nausea and diarrhea. Many of the antibiotics do. C. diff also causes nausea and diarrhea, so it may be difficult to figure out.
Avatar f tn Sounds like bv that's what I have and got some antibiotics Wednesday and the smell is already gone. My discharge was white creamy and smelled really bad.
Avatar m tn I swear sometimes I wonder why I am not depressed.I do get frustrated. At this point, all I know to do is wait til I see the Hep C doctor. Hopefully you guys won't mind if I vent and gather info and support from all of you.
Avatar f tn It remains my belief that anxious people feel anxious, have irrational fears that interfere with their lives, and if you don't have that emotional component you probably just have something that is hard to diagnose. Has anyone tested your beneficial microbial organisms? Were you on multiple or heavy doses of antibiotics before this happened?
Avatar f tn Definitely take the antibiotics. Uti is something that needs antibiotics to cure and if it goes untreated then can develop into a kidney problem which in some cases can cause early labour. Much safer to take the meds. I've been on the same antibiotics twice during this pregnancy and am now 36+ weeks and baby is perfectly healthy.
