Burp symptoms and conditions

I took Avelox for the first and LAST time today!! I have had 4 ear infections in the last 4 months. My sinus drains into them every nite. My ent prescribed Avelox b/c she want to kick the heck out of this infection. I was abit nervous about taking a different antibiotic because within the last 2 yrs I've developed food allergies. I took it and drank a big glass of water with it. Very soon after I started to feel strange. My throat felt tingly and I felt very anxious and thought I was going to throw up. I calmed down enough to get my son to a neighbors house and get to the ER. Of course I had to wait there I did get a hold of my anxiety. Right below my adam's apple inside my throat felt like the pill was stuck there. I would feel like it was a burp or gas that just couldn't make it out. My stomach felt queasy. I thought I might puke in the waiting room. 4 hours later I am home and feel like crap. My body is achy. My head feels like I've taken percaset(sp) I'm shakey and tired. Climbing the stairs it hard, my legs feel like sandbags. The dr. in the er said he doubted it was an allergic reaction because of how fast it came on. Reading about others experiences makes me think the DR. is wrong!! I did take it on an almost empty stomach. My co-pay on this crap was $55!!!!

oh I forgot to mention the extreme thirst! I also feel 'full' even though I haven't eaten and when I do eat it's even worse! It is very uncomfortable and makes me feel even more anxious. (It's lunch time and I'm terrified to eat.) I also have this feeling in the middle of my chest like there's air stuck in there so I try to burp for relief (That feeling makes me anxious too...) Good God this sucks! I broke down and got a packet of pills last night because I figured my symptoms were somehow related to being off of the Yasmin. (I was right!) I think I will ditch them and try to push through this - even though that's 50 bucks down the drain! I was off of bc pills for about four months or so but I have bad PMS and hoped that being on the pill would help. (They touted Yasmin as an answer to PMS!) The worst part is that I have Bipolar disorder, so I have to be very careful about what medications I take. I'm about to break down and call my doctor for some Klonopin because I feel like I'm going crazy and I need some relief!! (I'm at work right now, I have no clue how I'm even functioning..) I need to get some Slim fast shakes or something so I don't starve myself...

Sorry for two long posts, but I am so relieved to find this site. I wish there was something we could do: there are so many of us suffering and for what????

I started taking advair since this fall. i was really sick with cheat cold, sore throat, stuffy nose the works. I did not have the flu shot so naturally, having asthma, my symptoms were worse. I had about 6 asthma attacks before taking Advair 250/50. I sent to an asthma doctor nhe recommended this to me. Yes it helped. I still had about 3 asthma attacks while i was sick.

What i noticed was voice loss: squeaky voice, straining. I just thought it was me being sick. when i got better i noticed my breathing more. It takes me so long to eat or drink everything! It feels like there is pressure on my chest or the need to burp in order for me to feel better. I continue eating and it starts again. I didnt understand it at first but now i do. It has to be advair becuase i never elt like i had to burp so bad and stop doing my normal tasks.

I try to take Advair 1 everyday instead of twice a day. Today my sibling seen on the news that Advair is causing more deaths then helping asthmatics.

SO SHOULD I STOP TAKING IT ALTOGETHER? OR SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE? IF SO WHAT?

I have been on Advair (500/50) for 2 years. I have decided to stop because I have almost completely lost my voice. It definately helped my asthma as I never have attacks now but the side effects just aren't worth it. In addition to the voice issue, I lost TONS of weight, I have develoeed reflux to the point where it's damaged my esophagus permanently. I have gas that gets trapped in my stomach with the only way to relieve it is to lay on my side and burp. Needless to say, it sure makes going out to dinner a challenge! I have now been off of it for 2 days and already my voice is coming back!

Guest-
try taking vitamin C and prilosec OTC for the burping and acid reflux. I still burp once and a while but it's not nearly as bad as it was before. I've been off Yasmin for about 3 weeks. Also, Orange Juice tends to make me burp more than normal...not sure if it's the same for you.

hi again posted a few on myself update etc...

just a quick one today anyone still suffering with alot of wind indegestion as i burp all the time and middle of my chest when i eat of after it buggs me all the time i have been of the pill about 4months now and alot of side effects have gone and periods quite regular just when i am due on i get some sumptoms back haunting me lik eaching arm (left arm) and hand and i do get dizzy still now and again but apart from that and a little hair loss i think every month gets better i just hate the period week before the moods are bad and like i said the period week please anyone leave a feedback for me as i havent had one yet thanks nicola x

I am in pharmacy school, and we just learned about endocrinology - and I had known that Yasmin made my BP go up and what not, and I was starting to notice other things, and then as we learned about different endocrine topics, OCP always is mentioned as something that throws stuff out of whack...So that day (something like 5 days into a pack) I just stopped taking them - I was like "I can't do this to myself another day!" and stopped. How ridiculous - I needed a second period within ~2 weeks like I need a hole in my head, precious precious iron lost (I don't eat beef)...so now, I feel my heart racing, I'm betting my BP is still high, I've got a headache kind of constantly and I feel like I could burp all the time, but when I do, it is not satisfying as I would hope...I just feel kind of half-nauseous all the time and SO anxious - I have tried to turn symptoms into really alarming medical problems and can hardly fall asleep...I've been drinking water like it's going out of style in some sort of effort to flush the crap (both meanings - yasmin and poo) out of my system...In an anxious fit I searched just about every medical source I can think of, in every way I can think of, for symptoms associated with stopping birth control, and I can't find much about it anywhere! Arrggh...male-centered medicine strikes again!
Anyway, glad to have found you ladies - I don't feel so worried or alone...
For those of you who said they had bloating when they stopped - did you feel like you had to burp and couldn't, and how long did that last?

I started this pill almost 3 weeks ago, and could not even take it the first full month. I wanted to give it a try for PCOS, to help get rid of excess facial hair, regulate hormones etc.

When i say my body has been ravaged by this pill, that is an understatement! Immediately, the frequent urination began, but i can deal with that. Not a biggie. I started taking them like the 2nd day of my period, a Sunday, to get that nice effect of no period on the weekend sort of thing. I have been bleeding ever since. Heavy, clotty bleeding for 3 weeks! I have never bled like this. Cramps like I haven't experienced since I was about 16. Then the UTI came, then the abdominal pain. I am so bloated, my belly is so hard, it's ridiculous. I guess i have a lot of gas, but can only burp if i force myself to, or drink a big coke or something. I feel like if i was poked with a pin, I would POP! I have been constipated, and I never experienced this, even when I was pregnant and taking all that extra iron. The abdominal pain is the most excruciating part, though. It started out in my lower abdomen as soreness, but i had just gotten over a stomach virus, so thought i was just sore from vomiting. Then the pain started rising, to the point that now its in my ribcage. I cant even yawn without wanting to scream. No deep breaths or anything. I can barely get in and out of my car. The only way i make it through the night is with Darvocet, because i get low grade fever and the pain is worse at night. My Gyno thought it may be gall bladder trouble, so I had full bloodwork 2 days ago, which i wont get the results for a few days, and today I had an ultrasound, so they could pinpoint and schedule for surgery. Surprise, no gall bladder trouble on the ultra sound. I have also had severe joint pain, to the point of crying. I havent taken a pill for 2 days, just couldnt take it anymore, so hopefully when this stuff leaves my system, I can get back to normal. Sorry for the long vent but i'm sick of being in pain. Never had any health troubles prior to this. Beware for anyone in the future.

I am a 32 year old man who has been on Lipitor for over four years. I recently went up to 40mg and I think it was a big mistake. Like many others, when I was on 20mg I had some slight muscle cramps, insomnia and back pain, but it was nothing compared to what happened when I went to 40mg.

My body now feels like a train wreck. I have a strange tingling sensation in my feet, as well as muscle cramps in my legs. This worries me because my feet and sometimes my hands are always cold. It feels like almost my feet are asleep all the time. My legs have a strange cramping/pulsating feeling. I have a chest pain and stomach cramps as well. Plus I have that wonderful dizzy feeling that many of you have also complained about.

I have stopped taking Lipitor for a week now, but the symptoms remain. I am worried because I just want to feel normal again. Can anyone who stopped taking Lipitor tell me if these types of problems have gone away, and if so, how long it took.

On a side note, the chest pain I think is caused by gas. I have taken a gas inhibitor which has seemed to help with the tightness in the chest. I do tend to burp a lot though. I hope that this might help for people who have had this side effect as well.

I am father and a husband who has no personal grudge against Lipitor or my doctor. I have never posted to a board before and am not trying to sue anybody. I just want to feel normal again. My wife thinks I am a little bit crazy, and doesn't understand how funky and bad I feel now. She thinks that just stopping will make me better. I hope she is right. When someone goes through this, it just wears on your mentally as well as physically.

I am off to see the doctor and I hope that he will be able to help or tell me what to expect long term. If I find any solutions, I will be sure to share.

Thank you for listening to my story.

After reading other posts, I realized what other side effects I have. I noticed that I do have to burp(yuck) while I'm eating and it's like it won't come out. I also notice that my thighs feel like I have bruises on them, but I don't. I also got four pimples in the same spot, I was hoping Yasmin would help my skin, but I'll keep giving it a try.
