Dull headache symptoms and conditions

I am soooo relieved as I have been reading everyone's posts. I am scheduled to get my Mirena out in a few days. I have had mine for almost 10 months, and have had headaches, dizziness, anxiety, lack of energy/concentration, and nausea. I just haven't felt like myself. I am 28 years old, and at times feel like I am 70!! I have had a constant headache for 2 weeks, to the point I have gone through tests to rule out anything serious. It finally clicked in my head the other day that it could be the Mirena, while I was taking a pregnancy test (the nausea is horrible). I will post after it is removed.. hopefully with good news. Thanks to all that took the time to post, good to know that I am not crazy. I pray that the removal helps my headache!! Does anyone else that suffers from side effects, notice an increase at certain times? My headache/nausea always seems worse in the evening.

I just started taking Yasmin on Sunday, since then I have had extreme nausea, bouts of sadness and anger, and a dull headache. Last night I had such a horrible migraine my vision was blurred. I woke up this morning feeling the same way and I had no energy. Can these side effects happen this soon after starting Yasmin?

I had a huge allergic reaction from a bee sting so the urgent care Dr. prescribed a Kenalog shot. I thought that if it would reduce my huge arm it sounded good. Well, not so good as others who have had the shot have described. I am so happy to read the side affects of others because I was starting to think that there was something serious was going on with me. I started mt period after a week after my previous one and have had this period for seven days. I usually only have five day periods and have been very regular. I called my obgyn and they said that the pharmacist stated that this is not a side affect of Kenalog. This is obviously not true and the medical professionals should be aware of this awful side affect. I have also had a dull headache for a week which has also worried me. I guess I will try to wait it out. How long does this crazy shot stay in your system?

I had a hysterectomy and developed nightsweats and hot flashes. The doctor gave me the Vivelle patch and I was fine for 3 months. I took it off for about 4 months until the hot flashes returned. I went back on it for a month and out of no where I started to have mini black outs. I also had neck pain, numbness and a dull headache. I was rushed to the ER after an episode and was checked out from head to toe. They could not find anything wrong with me. I had put a new patch on one day and noticed the symptoms getting worse. I have taken it off since and everyday feel better. The doctor's are not convinced it is the patch but I know my body and feel it is the cause of all my symptoms.

Hey there ladies, I just started taking Loestrin 24. I am 41 yrs old. I have a history of endometriosis, with bleeding lasting for 10-12 days a month. I was at my wits end with the monthly pain. I was on the pill for many, many years. I went off it 6 years ago, I went through chemo for Hodgkins lymphoma, and wanted my body to run naturally no hormones no nothing. So here I am taking the pill again, and to my surprise, I have severe PMS!!! I never had it before, but the rage I have is just terrible. I know it is not me, but it scares me. I have breast tenderness, brown spotting too, sharp pains in my side, dull headache,acne, and yes the rage. My poor husband was chewing food next to me, I wanted to beat him,the noise errrrr. Cybil (lol)

Well, I have been on this for a week now and remember why I wasn't a big fan about a year ago when I was first taking it. (I initially stopped because they were so expensive).
I am taking "junel", the generic version of Loestrin. I hate this. My forehead broke out within 3 days..it is gross and I feel like I am 17 (I'm 32). I am hungry often, feel bloated most of the day and have had a dull headache for at least the last 3-4 days intermittently. I also feel like my stomach is upset, kind of gurgling and that comes and goes throughout the day.
I plan to get the Mirena soon and these pills were an alternative to condoms for right now and I am ready to pitch them in the trash! I don't like how they make me feel at all. I WOULDN"T recommend this pill!!

I am 35 yrs old. My son was born 7/2/6 I got the Mirena inserted on 8/31/06. Right after I had my son. My body doesn't react well to the birth control pill and did not want to get pregnant. My Gyn said there is a slow release of hormone so I wouldn't even notice any changes. My period was off but I just had my son. In March I went to my primary and she put me on Zoloft since I was experiencing anxiety, a constant flush, and insomnia (kinda feel like your going crazy at certain times of day). I never had these before giving birth (and its not the stress of my son). They did blood work it came back fine. I took yoga, acupuncture and Zoloft, nothing is working 18 months later I went to my primary office and seen a nurse practitioner and she said take the Mirena out-she herself had certain side effects that I had. My Gyn says that is not the cause, it could be the Zoloft. How confusing is all this. I am really considering having it removed soon. I want to feel myself again. I'm sure my husband does too. Anyone with info. on after the Mirena is removed and how I might feel would be helpful. At least I have idea what might lie ahead even though every one is different.I am so glad I found this site. Ladies take care of yourselves. There will be happiness again.

I am a 27 year old female and have had high blood pressure since I was 15. I have been on beta blockers my whole life like (Labatalol and Toprol XL100mg/day). I have never noticed any side effects with those, but my doctor just switched me to Lisinopril because my blood pressure on Toprol is 135/90 and when I am off it is 160/105 so she said the Toprol really isn't working. So, I have been on this medicine for a week and a half now and I think I would rather take my risk of a stroke and have high blood pressure than to continue to take this. I have nausea each day, upset stomach, my appetite is gone and then when I do eat I feel very full and bloated, I am shaky on the inside, foggy headed, I cough in the morning, I have been waking up with a sore throat that goes away within a few hours, but I am not sick, I get a weird dull headache in the afternoon, pounding heart, and I feel crazy like a crackhead. I have been crying for the past three days and feel depressed, confused and my mind won't stop racing about stuff.
AND my BP has been 130/80 so nothing has changed. I am having a hard time focusing at work and I just want to go take a nap because I am so worn out from fighting with the racing thoughts and shakiness. I am going to a new Dr. today to see if I can take something else, but as of today I will no longer take Lisinopril.

I am really glad I read the other posts here. I see a pattern. I tried the NR for the first time about 12 days ago. I got a dull headache from it right away and my stomach didnt feel right although I never threw up from it. I thought I was ok until 5 days ago (Saturday) when I burst into tears over something little right after I woke up in the morning. I went to my weekend waitressing job and burst into tears again over something little. I had such mood problems that day that I worried most of my co-workers and smarted off to people which I never do. My manager was really worried that I was acting so strange. On Sunday I just wanted to sleep all day because I was upset. I freaked out and cried until I choked myself just because my husband was going to be home from work later than scheduled, which is a regular occurrence in his line of work. On Monday when I went to my office job I was in the bathroom all day feeling sick. After that I went to my waitressing job and got really moody again. My manager had a pep talk with me and I thought I was ok becuase Tueday and Wednesday (yesterday) my mood was much improved even though my stomach was still really upset. Well - today I burst into tears on the way to the office, could not shake it off, and left the office an hour later (around 9 am) to try to calm down. I felt better so went back about 10:15. Worked about an hour, felt sick in the stomach again. After almost fainting while opening the bathroom door, I spent the next 15 minutes sweating profusely while I hung over the garbage can waiting to throw up. I'm 29 years old and had to call my mom to come pick me up and drive me home. I thought I had a panic attack or a nervous breakdown by now. I slept a little, woke up with nausea and crying and got online to see if NR was why. It sort of sounds like it. I am trying to decide if I should just pull this NR out now or stick it out until day 21. I am afraid I might lose one of my jobs for being so moody and saying the wrong thing - or hurt my husbands feelings worse than I already have if I don't get rid of the NR, but will I make matters worse if I do? I need help!

Started Lisinopril this morning. After taking a 4 hour nap, I awoke to a nasty, dull, headache. It lasted 6 hours and was accompanied by light nausea, thought it was a migarine, without the sensitivity to light! Next morning I awoke to find the dull headache still with me, accompanied by neck ache and dry throat, started to cough an hour after coming to work. Blood pressure seems to have adjusted back to normal, but what good is it if you feel this bad!
First time and the last time I take Lisinopril!

I started taking 100 mg. per day of Topamax a month ago and have ok results, I still have a dull headache everyday but it doesn't turn to a migraine but I have no desire for food and carbonated drinks taste flat and it has changed my mood also. I would like to stop taking it.

woke up at 2:00 with rapid heart beat that lasted all day - flu like symptons as well as a dull headache. Was taking this med for a UTI. I am allergic to sulfur but don't know if this product contains it. Blood pressure was normal.

On the second dose of the Doxycline 100 mg po BID x7 days presription, I felt nauseous and vomited. I now have a headache, feel somewhat nauseous, have and "ache" in my abdomen, feel slightly dizzy/fuzzy and have a dull headache. The medicine was prescribed as a prophylactic antibiotic in preparation for a gynecological/preobstretrical procedure called a hysterosalpingogram.

I have no plans to continue w/this medicine as I am intolerant of these side effects. It feels like putting poison into my body.

Hope to feel "normal"/well soon,
Eliza

I've been on Lisinopril for a year. I was changed over to the generic brand just 3 months ago and am having more & more trouble. Sleeplessness is a growing problem.....just can't go to sleep and then can't stay asleep for more than 3 hrs. at a time. I've also experienced trouble with bounding heart rate. This will come on whenever it wants to. I have had a dull headache for at least 3 weeks and a great deal of pain & stiffness in the neck/shoulders area. The latest problem that I have started to experience is unstable vision. It is like looking through heat waves. This causes dizziness too. I have been listening to my heart beat rather loudly for some time now. I do have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and have multiple joint pain. I thought I was falling apart, but because of this site I find it can all be due to taking 10 mg. po qd @ hs. I just stopped taking it last night. I need my vision. I need my health. Thanks!

A persistent dull headache and a feeling of spaciness on the third day and now for four days. I am thinking about discontinuing this crap.

I went to the Dr. last thursdays with a severy UTI....He first prescribed to me Bactim.. I took this for about 3 days and he called me back and wanted to place me on levaquin 750mg 5 day. I started it that night... I feel asleep... 2 hours later i woke up and could not go back to sleep. by the next morning i felt so disoriented, like i was in a haze.... my skin crawled I had a headache. upset stomach, completely drained.... I called the dr and told him how i felt... he said it was more than likely from the infection. and told me to go ahead and continue to take it.... 2nd night...still no sleep. i have severe dry mouth aches in my left side same dull headache...so so so drained i cant even concentrate kind of depresses and paranoid, even nervous. MY GOD this is awful.... I have missed work because of this. With me just being on this a couple of days with this go away pretty quick i cant handle this I am absolutely exausted. I refuse to take this ever again

I have been on 20 mg of Lisinopril for 4 days, in supplement of taking Atenolol. I have experienced some dull headache pain, and some kind of ear pressure, like I'm underwater. I am monitoring my pressure myself, and it seems to be taking effect, although I don't feel quite like myself. My body is still adjusting to this medication, afterall, it hasn't even been a week. Is the benefit of lowering my BP worth the risk? Has anyone had a significant difference in their BP, as a result of this drug?

I have been taking Toprol XL now for about 5 months. I have gained 25 pounds on my small frame! I stay dizzy and have a constant dull headache. My heart MD thinks I should stay on this medicine but I have decided to take myself off as I also think its the cause of my nervousness.

foggy vision, dull headache on top and back of head - not on face around sinus

I'm on my second day, fire red in the face, dull headache. As long as I am moving I feel o.k. If I sit, I feel as if my eyes are burning and I become nervous.

I immediately started experiencing nausia after I started taking Yasmin. My breasts are extremely tender and lumpy and I feel so tired all the time. I feel sad and angry almost every day and have never experienced this feeling of hopelessness before. I have a dull headache almost every day as well. I find myself eating all the time and I haven't felt like excercising since I started these pills. If I do exercise, I get very lightheaded and my skin feels tingly as if I might faint and I have to stop the activity until I regain my balance. My muscles feel sore and I am having cramps in my calves during the night. I have taken other birth control pills in the past but have never felt symptoms this severe.

hi everyone...

i have been taking .075 synthroid for a lil over a year now....i know that that is not a high dose but i have still had some side effects...i have forgotten to take mine from time to time and the side effects ae just as bad as if i had just started it.....i have nausea,dull headache,anxiety(moderate to severe),and insomnia....has anyone else ever had this?

I've been on Lupron for one month now, I've had terrible hot flashes, a constant dry, dull headache, vaginal dryness, bouts of nausea, terrible insomnia and my breasts have gone down one full cup size. (And I was only a B-Cup to begin with!! - has anyone experienced breast reduction?)

I'm a 49yr old male. My cholesetol is 226 and my doctor put me on 20mg of Zocor. I have taken it for two days. The morning after the first pill I found it very hard to wake up, initially. The morning after the second pill it was even harder to wake up and I stayed tired all day. My muscles started aching, I had a dull headache, and felt pressure on my eyes. All of this was before reading about the side-effects, therefor it is not psychosimatic(sic). I will not be taken the pill for a third time.
