Oxygen level symptoms and conditions

After reading these posts I am more confused than before, because my experience is so far very different. I was diagnosed with DVT about two weeks ago and now take Coumadin daily; the Lovenox injections have been discontinued. The reason I'm so confused is I now feel the best I have in 5 (five) years.

Before being placed on the anti-coagulants I had memory and concentration issues that were progressively getting worse and greatly affecting my job, and had daily headaches. I had joint pain that made it difficult to get up after sitting for awhile; they felt constantly inflamed. I felt fatigued all the time and my muscles hurt like I had really pushed them; I just didn't have any strength, and had muscle cramps. I was constantly yawning and found my jaws hurt from clinching my teeth, subconsciously trying not to yawn. I was extremely sensitive to physical touch, even hugs hurt. I also felt extremely depressed and cried almost daily. My lips and left cheek tingled, as well as other parts of my body. Plus I would get the feeling of sudden pressure in my head (different from a headache) like it was going to pop off, and I my eyes didn't seem to track what I looking at and had difficulty in remembering or comprehending what I just read.

About 6 (six) days after starting treatment it completely changed and these symptoms are essentially gone. I have talked with my doctor and pharmacist and they are baffled. I am concerned this change, while welcomed, may indicate an underlying condition that is not yet diagnosed. Has anyone ever heard of such an impact from starting Coumadin treatment?

Can anybody tell me how long this lasts? I've been off it for a week and still no relief. The drug should be out of my system now. Any feedback would be appreciated.

My husband was put on Coreg in the hospital and he is on oxygen 24/7, after 5 days of Coreg his oxygen level dropped to 60 after a very short walk and he has never had that before. I demanded he be taken off of Coreg and he has regained a good oxygen level. He was also a bit dizzy as well and had never had those things before. Not a good drug!

Hi all, I'm hoping someone here with Seroquel-experience can help us with some information. My wife has been on Seroquel for approximately 5 weeks (ramping up to 200mg per day during the first 10 days, approximately). After 4 weeks, the severe breathing problems started. Physicians have verified the oxygen level in her blood to be excellent, her lungs and heart are in perfect shape, she has no fever and no indication of bacteria-infections. All indications are that this is caused by the Seroquel. She explains the intense sensation as drowning, almost passing out while gasping for air. She's feeling very dizzy, probably due to breathing too much as a result. Occasionally her breathing is not so deep, but more like hyper-ventilation. The problem became unbearable (and my wife endures a lot) after approximately 1 week, so 5 weeks into the Seroquel scheme she quit cold-turkey two days ago. The breathing problems are still the same. We are hoping someone could tell us how much time these breathing problems can be expected to remain, as I've googled my eyes out without finding any information on this. A week? - Two weeks? -Even more? - please respond, and in advance, thank you for your help!

I had been feeling like I was getting a slight head cold for several days and then on a Thursday I decided to go to an Immediate Care Facility because I felt like it was turning into Bronchitis. I am a fast healer and respond to antibiotics well as a general rule. Well, this time was an exception, I was given a prescription for Levaquin 750 mg to take one a day for 7 days. I was given a coupon for $25 off on the RX and it still cost me $130 for 7 pills. Within one hour after taking the first pill my wife and I knew I was in trouble. She rushed me to the emergency room. My oxygen level was 82, my heart rate was 140, my temperature was higher than it had been before taking the drug. Thanks to my wifes quick thinking and insistance I did not die that night. A nurse friend said she is 100% sure that if I had not been prescribed Prednisone along with the Levaquin that my reaction would have been much worse. Probably the Prednisone buffered the reaction.
I spent 3 days in the hospital. My recovery from Bronchitis was slowed down by this reaction. Then I got an eye infection and am still seeing an eye dr. for that. I have missed 2 1/2 weeks of work. Levaquin is on my list of drugs to never take again. Bob

when on vacation last november, i started having palpitations, where my heart literally paused/ skipped a beat. i went to the er and they did a bunch of tests and i now have a med bill of 10K+ for one day in hospital!

no blood clot (air travel and oc's within the previous year made them suspicious), but they found a very small asd/ pfo (heart).

my thyroid hormones were totally whacked, a blood clotting enzyme was elevated and my oxygen level upon exertion was low (dyspnea). i'm tired of seeing docs so i try to destress and exercise more.

the only thing i was on at the time was the flonase...i had been on it for more than 2 weeks and for the 2nd or 3rd time this year...my ent told me it was okay. yasmin is also a suspect in my drama, but that posting is on the yasmin side effects page.

write to me at ******, if you have had similar symptoms or have questions.

My 2 1/2 year old son started taking Singular 2 weeks ago. We have noticed a change in his attitude. He hits and pushes his 5 year old sister. He cries ALL the time. His nose continuelous is runny. Last week, he woke up and was vomiting but had no temperature. He also cried and said his chest hurt.

We took him to the DR, and they said that it was just a tummy bug and that he was fine.

Yesterday, (week 2) I picked him up from the nanny's house and he had red hives (welts) that were on his neck, behind the ears, his tummy and on his side. Some were very large. He was wheezing and I checked his Oxygen level and it had dropped to 91/92. The danger zone for him is 89. So we gave him albuterol treatment and his Oxygen shoot up to 97, whcih was fine.

He has had a chronic coughing, and he won't eat very much (before he would eat everything and want more). He cries alot at night. One night he woke up 2X screeming. Like he was in pain. Got him calmed down and he said his tummy hurt.
After his bath, I was rubbing lotion on his leg and he pulled his legs away crying and said they hurt.

After reading everything here, I KNOW IT IS THE SINGULAR. I am going to print of this web page and take it back to my son "Specialist" DR that I paid $120 to see my son, and tell the DR to put this in my son's file!

Thank you to everyone who has made their private lives public so the rest of us may learn in time.

My legs swelled immediately upon taking Levaquin with pain also in the tissues of my legs and not the joints. Breathing problems also accompanied the leg swelling. 5 months after taking Levaquin my legs are still swollen with pain and I can not take a deep breath. My oxygen level is only 94. Any advice on a cure would be greatly appreciated.
