Diabetes type ii symptoms and conditions

On May 8th 2009 I had my gallbladder removed. I have lupus, sjogrens disease, pulmonary hypertension, diabetes type II and coeliac disease. I was prescribed doxycycline as an antibiotic for post op infection. Within 2 days I was very ill - thought I was going to have a heart attack. The pain over my heart was alarming. Also, I found it very difficult to breath. I did some reading and found out that Lupus patients should not be given doxycycline. (The hospital and specialists knew my medical history and it should have been an easy thing to check for contraindications of medications - I had never had doxycycline before)A day after I stopped the antibiotic things improved dramatically. At the post op visit to the specialist, I was told that this was 'all in my head' and it was a lot of nonsense. However, I stuck to my story and finally the specialist conceded that even the best doctors do not know everything!!!!???
One really has to be VERY careful to look after one's own health.

In January of 2008 I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type II, I was prescribed 500 mg of Metformin twice a day. After six weeks of therapy it was still ranging in the 200+, then the doctor added Actos 30mg and Lipitor 20 mg. One month after taking these, I started feeling dizzy, light headed. Then one day out of blue while driving to work, I had what I felt as a severe panic attack, fast heartbeat and sensation of near-fainting and a throbbing headache. At first I though it was just severe anxiety. I let the doctor know he just said it was stress related anxiety and referred me to see a therapist. Kept taking Actos and Lipitor and the episodes kept coming stronger and more frequently. To make a long story short, my children got concerned and looked up the medications I was on and looked up my symptoms on a website called ****** and discovered that I was not the only one having these same side effects. I have stopped taking the medications now for four days and my symptoms have stopped and starting to slowly feeling better.
