God care symptoms and conditions

HEY!! WOW!!! THANK YOU LORD! I thank everyone for posting! I have been taking Lisinopril for 2 days and just after two days I noticed the following, YES TWO (2) DAYS!:

Extreme Dizziness
Lightheaded
Increased Heart Rate
Awful Headache

At first I thought these were PMS symptoms but I have become great at combating these with exercises and fruit - as soon as I get my heart rate up and build a sweat and eat some fruit, I am fine. BUT I tried this the other day and I felt so groggy and fatigued. And I am a stickler for not taking medications, even OTC Pain Relievers, I believe in "Au Natural"... anyway I went to the park and walking up a simple hill, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. Then the headache seem to have gotten worse as well as the nausea. For breakfast I had a Kale Smoothie (OJ, Kale, Pear, Ice Blended) and didn't go for the walk until about an hour later. I consumed some water and started at a slow pace, but that didn't help. I also felt very tense and anxious and I thought WAIT A MINUTE! So I started to retrace my 'steps' of what I had eaten (Sunday Night: Red Beans w/ Brown Rice, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and Turnip Greens) I said, okay nothing out of the ordinary there. Monday and Tuesday light meals such as a Falafel and Salad ... so I said let me read the side effects of this medicine and sure enough, the Nausea and Dizziness was on the printout from the pharmacy! I said okay this is it. I am not taking this stuff anymore, it's only been TWO FREAKING DAYS!! I'd hate if I take it longer. I am going to call my doctor to schedule an appointment to go over these symptoms, and opt for another prescription. In the interim, I am increasing my water intake and drinking prune juice as well as raw leafy veggies to help with the detox. And moderate walking to get my pores opened up. Thanks again and I appreciate all of your comments. Be prayerful and take good GOD care! LS, 28 year old black female

I've been on the NuvaRing for three weeks now -- was prescribed it for endometriosis. BCs are usually hard on my body -- emotionally, physically -- but they do control the extreme pain i get during my periods so i keep trying new ones. this shit is crazy, though -- want the meds to find out how to heal endo without adding fake hormones to my body.

side effects with NuvaRing I've experienced so far are a lot. had my first anxiety attack last night and it was severe. i cried for hours, then called a friend so she could rope me back into reality. felt suicidal before i called her -- then called her -- because i knew there was no trigger, and needed to hear somebody's voice.

also - insomnia. an inability to regulate what i eat - i am an athlete and take extremely god care of my body -- no chemicals in the food, no sugar, no dairy -- but lately i can't seem to stop eating, anything, everything. it's weird. vaginal discharge (it doesn't hurt, just a little gunky). headaches like I've never felt before. cramping like crazy, which is ironic, since I'm on the damn thing mostly so i can stop the pain of cramping.

i know we're supposed to suffer in silence for another couple of months until the hormones become synthesized into our bodies, but this really isn't working for me. ladies, listen to your bodies. ESPECIALLY if there is no medical reason for you to be taking this, or any other BC that causes you to suffer, stay off of it.

and good luck to everybody.
