Avatar f tn So, I have had vertigo and it's wicked. I mean, BAD. The stomach issue you are speaking of is nausea? That's what I had and is what is common with vertigo. I had nausea to the point of vomiting. Stomach pain and vertigo are less likely associated. My vertigo was caused by inner ear issues. My tube, Eustachian tube deep in my ear is dysfunctional and closes in. It causes the dizziness, ear fullness, etc. Lots of dizziness comes from ear issues.
1646392 tn?1333251893 I am 14.5 weeks pregnant. I have had problems with congestion since 8 weeks. Since about 11 weeks, it has been unmanageable. I have done sinus rinses, nose strips, sudafed, benedryl at night, vicks rub, and zyrtec. I can get about two hours of sleep at night before I wake up with my nose running and nose clogged. My husband has started sleeping the guest room because I keep him up at night. I tend to go through a roll of toilet paper blowing my nose in two to three nights.
345124 tn?1234483278 i did go into a walkin clinic so thats how i got that diagnosis. i was prescribed a combination of nasonex and clarinex, then a round of allegra d. the first two meds seemed to help, but i wonder if it was possible a desperate kind of placebo effect. the allegra d sent me into panic attacks, which i assume was because the pseudoephedrine in it, so i stopped taking it and of course now my symptoms are back. any input? please?
746512 tn?1388807580 However all the allergy medications I know about (aerius, clartin, reactive, allegra, zrytec) all use pseudoephedrine in their decongesant formulas. I was wondering if anyone knows of another medicine that works similarly to pseudoephedrine but (hopefully) wouldn't cause me the horrible side effects. I can't even take the cough medicine I use to take with 5mg of pseudoephedrine because they now cause side effects.
Avatar f tn My Dr told me I can continue to take my allegra. And im now 24 weeks and my little man is just fine.
Avatar f tn Also I was drug tested often because I was on a narcotic drug for so many years prescribed by my doctor and I'd take sudafed and Benadryl through the spring for my allergies and I never failed a test.
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take both Allegra-D and Zyrtec. In short, I suffer from allergies. I find that I feel best when I take a single pill of Allegra-D in the morning and a single pill of Zyrtec at night. In part, I have been doing this because I haven't had to go to the doctor (or Canada) to get more Allegra D so I can take it twice a day. I was wondering what the possible side-effects, besides fatigue, are of the regimen I'm taking? I've felt much better since beginning it.
Avatar n tn My oldest son is on Risperdal,as well as three other meds. He has done quite well with Allegra for seasonal allergies, and even better with Zyrtec. Zyrtec is OTC but allegra is not. Both are well tolerated with Risperdal. Benaadryl is not good with Risperdal. My son, age 17, is zonked out when he takes both. He basically is out like a light and doesn't wake up in the morning (until about 12 hours later) the few times he has taken it. Not good at all.
Avatar m tn stomach pain seems to have subsided and bowel movements seem fine (I looked up side effects of Pseudoephedrine and stomach cramps and diarrhea were listed, so that may have been a contributing factor to that small episode). However, my throat is still sore, once again got worse at night. Pseudoephedrine pills seem to be doing absolutely nothing. I've been continually drinking water and monitoring my temperature (which remains to be at or below 98.6).
Avatar n tn Before taking acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and pseudoephedrine, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have: * liver disease; * alcoholism or cirrhosis of the liver; * heart disease or high blood pressure; * diabetes; or * a thyroid disorder.
453255 tn?1205792176 Yes, the medications I take for my allergies and asthma daily are: allegra (24 hour), singulair, alvesco, oxeeze, rhinocort, sometimes ventolin, and sometimes benedril.
Avatar f tn s when I decided to try the Allegra for the Paxil, problem. Just to let you know, I ended up taking 1/2 of an Allegra and the symptoms went away again. I woke up this morning feeling fine. The zaps usually start late in the day and are not bad. Just to reassure everyone....I have a doctor appointment Monday morning at 9am!!! I will not, however, take another Paxil! Thanks for all you help and input..

Avatar f tn Pregnancy may be complicated by new-onset or preexistent allergic disease, including rhinitis, anaphylaxis, urticaria and angioedema, and atopic dermatitis. Pregnancy and asthma is extensively studied. Of the currently available preparations, chlorpheniramine has been recommended as the first generation antihistamine of choice for use during pregnancy. Based on the information available, loratadine or cetirizine may be considered the second generation antihistamines of choice.
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor today and he told me tylonol sinus was safe and pseudoephedrine was safe. Also the other 2 I mentioned. I told him I didn't want back on antibotics again if I didn't have to be. He said just be patient and try the over the counter things right now.
Avatar n tn Any product that contains pseudoephedrine should not be taken with people with high blood pressure. Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine and should only taken under the supervision of your doctor if you have hypertension. Even with that, should the blood pressure increase, you would be advised to stop taking the medication. Coughing is the body's natural way of getting rid of any irritant and that includes virus and bacteria.
Avatar n tn Some people feel that another decongestant, pseudoephedrine, works better than phenylephrine. Pseudoephedrine is available behind the counter at drug stores. If you do not notice an improvement in your sinus congestion after 7 days, or if you have a fever, please notify your doctor since these are usually signs of an infection. If that is the case, you will not be able to resolve the problem with over the counter decongestants alone. Your physician may need to prescribe antibiotics.
4442651 tn?1355714087 I am now sick again, (25 weeks) dr told me to take ANY Tylenol (phenylephrine hcl) which I took 3 doses as recommend on pack over the past 24 hours and now I recently looked online and I have read so much stating it causes birth defects in the abdomen and restricts blood flow to the placenta. I am so worried I may have caused damage to my baby!!! :-( I know the dr said it was okay but I feel so horrible right now. I hope everything is okay. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Avatar n tn I have had issues with my ears for about 5 months now. I do have allergies (hay fever, mold, pollen, animal dander). I had fluid in my ear, pressure, and it squeaked when I swallowed or yawned. I went to the doctor, that told me to take decongestants. I took decongestants such as pseudoephedrine, Allegra-D, Claritin-D, etc, for months, but they didn't help. I was given two different types of steroids (pill and nasal spray) that got rid of the fluid, but not the pressure or squeaking.
