Abnormality symptoms and conditions

I just turned 21 this month and went to the gyno for the first time just before my birthday. she gave me a trial pack (one month) of loestrin. a few of my friends are on yaz and told me about the horrible side effects, so i figured this one would be better since it's the lowest hormone dose and my body is super sensitive. i started them last week and since then i've been even more moody than usual, go into these random bouts of hysterical crying for no reason, and the worst part is that two days ago my "breakthrough" bleeding started- only it's not just spotting, it's basically like a full-blown period. i got blood work done (almost a month ago) at the gyno's, and i called last night because i hadn't gotten a call since. waiting to hear back this morning because there was a slight abnormality with the pap smear.. needless to say i'm pretty pissed with this doctor for not following up, and for leaving me in anxious suspense about what's wrong with me. is this normal to bleed like this? i went on birth control to regulate my severe, debilitating periods, and now i feel sick and have been bleeding for the past two days pretty heavily. :( really disappointed & upset.

I started with Provera in early March 2009 then my doctor prescribed for me to start taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo as soon as I'm done with Provera to control my heavy bleeding, both pills were not strong enough so I was prescribed to take Femcon Fe in the same month. I have finished 2 packs and have experienced a major weight gain, my appetite increased and always hungry. I feel nauseated all the time after taking it and I'm always sleepy and fatigue (don't know if this is from Femcon or my anemia). Towards the last week of my 2nd pack, I had a severe migraine attack that caused me to extremely vomit which I have strained or pulled a muscle in my chest and had numbness on my left side of my head and body. Ever since this migraine episode, I have headache everyday and blurr vision on my left side and decided to discontinue taking the pills. My Internal doctor performed an EKG and made me set up an appointment to take an Echo Stress Test which resulted an abnormal unspecified cardiovascular. Now I'm doing a thorough follow up with my Cardiologist and doing a second step of Nuclear Stress Test to identify the abnormality of my heart. In addition, my Neurologist set up an MRI to follow up on my migraine, headache. and numbness on my left side of my body. Before taking this pill, I only had the bleeding problem now I have additional "serious" medical condition that I have to worry about. Taking this pill is not worth it and I would not recommend this to anyone.

I was on a ten day course of Biaxin for Bronchitis. I also take Wellbutrin (150mg a day). No side effects until the eighth day of my course. I was in class, in the morning, and squatting down talking to a friend. As I got up, I was extremely dizzy (like a drunken dizzy) and seeing double (over/under).
Walked myself to the hospital (across the street), doc suspected a middle ear infection, and shot me up with Gravol, put me to rest for 2 hours. When I got up, I was still seeing double, metallic taste was there also. Got a ride home, and rested more. CT scanned that night with no conclusive evidence of any abnormality. Doc performed a variety of tests...made me walk an imaginary line (Like DUI test) and I kept stumbling to the left side. Had 9 vials of blood taken the next day, they suspect might be something wrong with my blood. Going for an MRI soon. Took 9th day of course, then found this site. Flushed the last days dose. I sure hope it was the Biaxin making me dizzy! Other than that horror, no other side effects.

To flowerbabies,

thanks for your response. the pain I felt was more like all-over tremendous pain so much that even the shower water on them was painful and so much pain that I wish I could have removed them. It has since desisted though I haven't gone back to the shower but it was following two last days of this terrible aching/pain under my left breast -and while it feels like it is coming from my heart (under my left breast), I don't have a diagnosis for that?

"left atrial abnormality,incomplete right bundle block..... i have no idea what all that means,came across something that mentioned heart disease and also another report that mentionion arrythmia"...

I am absolutely confused about how so many of the Doctors are advising these physical results are all caused from Anxiety? Is that possible? How is it then that the Doctor doesn't explain more to you about what it means? What was the test that they conducted?

Would someone be willing to provide an overview of what the Linden Method offers?

hi, to the guest that asked about chest pains and whether i found out that caused them..i haven't found out exactly but when i saw my GP today i asked for a copy of tests that i have had done. the results for the ecg came up as follows.
ecg sinus rythm,left atrial abnormality,incomplete right bundle block..... i have no idea what all that means,came across something that mentioned heart disease and also another report that mentionion arrythmia (sorry about the spelling) my doctor never explained what these things were as he said my irregular heart beat was "just anxiety" so have had no follow up since. Whatever it is i know i did not have it previous to yasmin because i was on a heart moniter when i was pregnant with my daughter and they found nothing??

I am a 62 yr old post menopausal woman.In June I received my first Kenalog shot in my knee, and had relief from pain by the next day. In August I was having the same pain again and a different ortho doc gave me another injection in my knee. 10 days later I started having vaginal bleeding, and bled for 9 days. I was told by the doctor who gave me the 2nd shot of Kenalog to follow up with my primary care doc. I had a negative pap test, but the pelvic ultrasound was abnormal and I was referred for an endometrial biopsy. My results of the biopsy showed no atypical cells and no abnormality at all. I've been told by the gynecologist that it was most likely the Kenalog shot that made me bleed. I had not had vaginal bleeding for 15 yrs previously.

I was prescribed Geodon for schizpophrenia and it has had little impact on the illness. I was told to take it three times a day, 20mg capsules. At 60mg I experience somewhat strange physiological changes, like severe weakness, dizziness, and an increase in visual and auditory hallucinations. Orthostatic Hypotension is one of the major contraindications of the medicine which I have experienced. My use of the drug has been no more than 15 days and I have not finished the bottle. I could be highly sensitive to drugs which would mean having to increase the dose slightly over longer period of time. In my experience with many of these drugs I have had few positive results with mostly negative side effects that have only served to limit my physical and mental powers. I would recomend that anyone considering the use of typical or atypical antipsychotics should reconsider and look into other options. Especially when prescribed for youth or children under the age of 10 years. The permanent changes that could occur are not positive in terms of mental development, and also the possibilty of developing Tardive Dyskinesia a serious neorological abnormality that can last for the rest of one's life. My experience has ended with Geodon because I derived little benefit from its use. I would not recomend others use of the drug.

I had a gonhorea .. i take doxy for 7 days . then i had diahrea and i feel bad , skin iritation on some body places spicialy in axilary in both arms , spasm in gastregnemuis muscle in legs and i feel vertigo , and abnormality in larynx also my tongue become white , panic attack. pain in testes and pain the the place of seminal viscal

i am confused and live in panic !!

I have been taking Lipitor for the past 6 years without I thought any problems. I now have pain in my left shoulder that feels like a rotator cuff injury. Doc sent me for an X-Ray
which showed no abnormality. He then wanted to send me to
an Orthopedic dr for an MRI which I didn't do. I just had my
blood work done for the 6 month check and it revealed tha I
was anemic. He referred me to a hematologist to check
further. His preliminary diagnosis is multiple myeloma. I have lower back pain along with pain just under my rib cage
on my left side. I have felt all along the problem is from the Lipitor, but the doctors don't think so. How does this pain take to clear up. I have been off the Lipitor for nearly 3 weeks with no change. If anyone else has had this pleas let me know asap.
Thanks

My husband was on Prilosec for several years, and switched to Omeprazole by our prescription plan. I don't know if the medication is the cause, but he started experiencing chest pain, and occasional shortness of breath, not the same as the acid reflux discomfort. He went to the Dr. and was tested by blood tests, EKG and chest x-ray. All were normal, so stress thallium test was ordered. He passed the stress test with no problem, but had a small abnormality on the thallium scan. He was referred to a cardiologist because of this and a heart cath was performed, also normal so thallium scan was a false positive. The cardiologist changed his medication to Nexium. Could this all be due to switching to Omeprazole? I don't know, but the timing is suspicious.
