Felt light symptoms and conditions

I have had Mirena inserted about three weeks ago. Putting the IUD was not painful,but was not prepared for the major cramping that came right away. since then I have had cramping ( like the first day of menstrual cycle) which seeed tone triggeresd by my urination, and bleeding pretty much everyday. I had to take 2 ibuprofin (800 mg) to deal with the pain. My hair started to fall out and I thought it was a result of having the baby. My skin was itchy (didn't know why).
My doctor has checked me 2 times. The last time was this thursday (10/18) and my mission was to remove it. She checked my urine (fine), did a pelvic and ultrasound ( fine). Dr.gave me a prescription for antibiotics for week to see if my symptoms will improve.
However, after reading all these blogs, I just cannot deal with the pain, unpredictability of when the bleeding will start, having little or no sex life (husband is not happy about that), I am going to have it removed ASAP.

I was given sulfameth/trimetoprim for and ear infection and the first dose made my tongue feel like it was swelling up,then I noticed my hands and feet were very cold,and I felt light headed,dizzy and my throat felt like it was swelling up or like i had a lump in my throat .By the time i got to my fifth pill i could not sleep,i could feel my heart beating in my back and when i took a sip of water it felt just like my thorat had a massive lumpin it. At that point i called my doctor and they said that i definitly had an allergic reation to the medicine.Now the doctor is going to switch my medicine but i am still feeling bad and am afraid to trust them with my health.These same doctors used to treat my 19 year old son for contipation,anxiety and as they put it "girlfriend trouble" which was actually insomnia but he ended up being diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and passed away fourteen months later.stay away from this medicine and always ask questions and keep a log of your doctors and treatments.

During the first month of use I had a severe migrane headache. It was the worst headahce of my life. I litterally could not stand up for an entire day, if I did I felt light headed and my heart rate was very fast. I also had a numbness in my fingertips. It only lasted one day but it was VERY severe. My Dr. said to discontinue Nuva Ring

The 1st day I started Lisinopril, I felt light-headed and shaky (about an hour or two after taking it). This weird feeling lasted less than 4 hours or so, then felt fine and haven't had a problem in 3 weeks. It lowered my blood pressure by the next day and has remained lower ever since. I am very pleased with the results. In the last year I have tried: Atenolol and Atacand HCT with no results. I had my son try Lisinopril and he had the same 'light-headed' experience the 1st day also. He was on Toprol Xl. He also has good results with Lisinopril (which is a generic - $5.00 vs $15.00) and no other side effects - just more money in our pockets and lower blood pressure.

I had been taking doxycycline for an infection for about 4 days. I started having this burning feeling in my face and head and sometimes in my arms and hands. I also had an upset stomach and a I felt light headed at times. The doctor told me that this could possibly be an allergic reaction.

I'm really glad I found this board. It reassures me I'm not nuts. I'm a 53 yr old woman. I'm overweight and underactive. I'm on 10 mg Lipitor and just started 2 days ago. I also take Toprol to reduce my blood pressure which is now at 120/80. I started the Toprol last week. The Toprol puts me in a daze during the day. I take the Lipitor at night. This morning I woke up groggy. I felt light-headed and spacey. Funny taste in mouth. Tongue kind of burns. Some pressure in ears. My feet were freezing and the left foot tingly. It took hours for my feet to warm up and feel normal. Sometimes my scalp feels tingly too. I went to my doctor because I was feeling light-headed and had other symptoms. So I'm going through a series of tests: stress test, brain MRI etc. Most of my labs came back great. Here's my plan: if there are no other problems with my heart or brain I plan to move my diet toward vegetarianism. I've already started doing that. I also found a gym that I hope to join. After 6 months of a good diet and exercise I'll ask my Dr. if I can come off the Lipitor for a certain number of months. We can do a cholesterol test and see where I'm at. Staying on any statin long term doesn't sound safe at all. Thanks!

I was prescribed this drug for an upper respiratory infection. I definitely couldn't stay at work after taking it & had to go home! Felt light-headed, dizzy, but it did make the cough go away and has helped me sleep. I've been taking it for a week now and somedays I experience an annoying headache that lingers around all day. It does the job, but I would definitely recommend staying home if you're gonna take this drug.

I started taking Levaquin (250mg) on 6/15 by an Urgent Care Dr. for a UTI. I felt light-headed and dizzy the first couple of days. By last night (day 3) I felt horrible! I was dizzy, metallic taste, felt disconnected to my body, and inability to concentrate. I went on the website and found this site. This was a HUGE learning lesson for me!!! I will never take another drug without researching it first!!! I called my OB/Gyn this AM and he said this is a VERY strong antibiotic. I think we owe it to ourselves to not be so trusting and to do some research for ourselves!
