Upper body symptoms and conditions

I started drinking Lactaid milk this past Saturday - one bowl of cereal a day with milk on it. I have developed a rash on my upper body - chest and back. It does not itch just red little bumps. Has anyone else experienced this reaction?

I have been taking niacin on and off for months. This one time, at night, when I usually take pills, I had a splitting headache so I took 2 aspirin with the 500MG of niacin. I laid down to bed about an hour after taking this. I began feeling hot all over my face, ears, neck, arms, and upper body. I thought I was having an allergic reaction! I have since read that aspirin should be taken BEFORE I take niacin. Not together!

I had been on Yasmine for about two years with no complications until last week. Last week my heart began beating extremely fast just while sitting at my desk typing. Later on in the day my chest began feelign tight and I had an "anxious" feeling in my upper body. At the same time my lower body felt completely weak- as if my legs could not support my body weight if I were to stand. Evenso, I thought nothing of it and just assumed my normal one cup of coffee just so happened to have a strong effect on me that day. The next day the anxious feeling and weakness had subsided but my left arm and hand were tingling. It felt as if they had fallen asleep and now had that "cotton" feeling. The next morning I lost all feeling in my left hand except for my first three fingers. This is when I began trying to figure out what on earth I may have eaten, where I had been, had i drank too much coffee, etc.

I rarely drink alcahol, don't smoke, have no family history of heart problems, etc. I don't take any other medications, I don't take vitamins, I dont eat strange foods, and exercise regularly. The only thing I could possibly change is my birth control. I immediately quit taking Yasmine and all problems disappeared in two days.

I am not positive yet it was the Singulair, but after having stopped it about a week ago, the terrible muscle and joint pains in my upper body have diminished some and I am sleeping better.

I have been on sulfameth/trimethorim 800/160 for 4 days for a SPIDER BITE !!!. I also take diovan hct 80/12.5 for BP and water retention. I have experienced rapid and irregular heartbeat, dizziness, confusion, lethargic etc...Was anyone treated for a spider bite with sulfameth?

I was given Levaquin for Pneumonia at the local ER. I have taken it four days and will stop today. On the third day, the skin on my upper body became very sore to the touch, my hands felt swollen and I had nonspecific upper body pain. On day four, my hands began hurt in the joints. I've also had really weird dreams, fatigue, and reduced ability to focus. I will ask my GP for some other type of antibiotic. I'm very healthy and have not taken an antibiotic in years.
