Cardura symptoms and conditions

I was taking flomax for a few weeks as I noticed a "strange" side effect. My sinus cavities were completely dry and open to the point of driving me nuts. This was getting me very depressed . I assumed every cause under the sun I did not realize it was the flomax until I visited my GP. He said to get off the flomax. Yesterday I felt good and thought the worst was over:however, I went back to taking cardura (with avodart) and I woke up this morning to the same symptom albeit somewhat less intense as the day progresses. Am I still suffering from the flomax or could it be the avodart?

I was on 75 mg of Topamax for 6 months. I became unable to empty my bladder. I was taking Cardura high blood pressure meds to release the bladder muscle. Even had to have a cystoscope. My urologist did not think it was the Topamax causing the problem. Finally I decided to get off Topamax on my own. Its been a week now and I m totally cured. This drug was a horror!

I am male, caucasian, sixty years old, average height, a little overweight.

I can't expressly pin my symptoms down to Lipitor, since, following 2 mild heart attacks, I am now on several drugs, namely aspirin, clopidogrel, lipitor, tildiem, cozaar and cardura.

However, the Lipitor was upped to 40mg daily after my second heart attack as routine dosage, and only since then have I noticed these symptoms - aches in wrists, knees and hips, apparent muscle weakness and tone, very dry and depleted skin in thickness and tone, dry and brittle hair, plus a tendency towards infections in nose, throat, eyes and ears and a very pronounced although erratic tinnitus. Before all this I would have called myself robust. Now I feel rather weak and sickly, although perhaps some of this can be attributed to my cardiovascular condition.

My history also includes Hogkins Disease, diagnosed 24 years ago and not recurring following treatment with radiotherapy and surgey alone.

Next week I am due to see my heart specialist and I will ask him how much of my symptoms could have been caused by Lipitor, and whether or not I can at least cut down the dose.

My brother & I used Hytrin for years, he suddenly developed Cancerous tumors in his Abdomen & expired in two months. It scared me so I stopped taking Hytrin. I never had any problems with Hytrin. I switched to Flomax But i`m starting to Itch, get rashes & hives all over my body. Does Hytrin cause Tumers after you take it awhile? Cardura also causes Itching so I read. What other drug is there left, that I could take? Spiro T. Chelemedos
