Windpipe symptoms and conditions

It feels like someone has taken a blow dryer to my windpipe. Feels like small grains of sand are in my airway and I start coughing suddenly and VIOLENTLY.. Yes, people in public look at you and start stepping back like they think you have something like TB and are contagious. Sleeping is out of the question. Laying down starts the barking cough. I am glad to hear someone else has the issue with excess saliva. I thought I was imaging this - it's as if I am drinking saliva and I vomit up clear mucous - to the point that I was considering going to the ER to ask them to check me for lung cancer or something. I cough so fast and hard that I have started vomiting and because it occurs so fast, I have had to throw up in the trashcan by my desk (attractive!) and the doctors I work for have come running into my office to see if I was "coughing a lung up". My chest is sore sore from all the coughing. My bronchial tubes burn like someone has been scrubbing them with brillo pads. This drug is nasty. Steer clear. Ask for something else till you get it right and then lose weight/get in shape so you can stop taking all this crap. Like the saying goes: "If I'd known I was gonna live this long - I'd taken better care of myself."

I have been taking lisinopril for about 2 1/2 years now. About 4 weeks ago I was having trouble sleeping, my legs hurt real bad and when I would wake up I would have a numbing tingling sensation in my legs and feet. Went to the doctor asked her if it could be the meds and she said she didn't think so and to continue to take it. I still continue to have problems, tired, weak muscles, hurt and a raw lump in the throat feeling. She sent me for a brain mri that showed white lesions on the brain. She said it could be from high blood pressure but said my has never really been that high or it could be MS. I am right now waiting to see a neuro dr to see if I have ms but after reading all these post I am wondering if it is the lisinopril. Has any one else had these types of symptoms?

I have been on synthroid for about 6 months now. Some of the side effects I have been experiencing are numerous.I have hair loss, sometimes I get so ill that no one can stand to be around me, my weight has gone up about 30 pounds, my cholesterol levels went sky high so now I'm taking Crestor, I'm bloated most times, I have episodes where my face flushes and gets so red that it feels like its on fire, and now I've just started experiencing burning and aching of the legs, I'm tired a lot too! My doctor said I would lose the weight but every time I go for check ups and get on the scale it just keeps going up. I would like to know if anyone else out there is experiencing the burning and achy legs because I have been tested for everything and they can't find out what is going on. They of course say it's not the medication.It seems to never be. Does anyone feel me??

Mine is nothing new according to the previous posts. I primarily have a problem with breathing and weight gain. I ride (rode) my bicycle 15 plus miles a day for years, but now it is a distant dream because of the severe breathing problem that begins in my upper chest and rises to my throat.
One pulmonologist tested me for asthma and said it appeared to be a reflux problem (without heartburn) that causes the acid in my upper digestive system to rise into my esophagus eventually causing this blockage of my windpipe. I can stop, sit for 15 minutes and then begin to exert myself again and sometimes it returns but sometimes does not.
No one mentioned the medicine, which I have been on for 5 years at 40 mg (because lower doses were ineffective.)
Once, I was given a different generic than I had been taking for 3 year, and it proved to be completely useless in controlling my BP. However, the choking did stop at that time, though I only notice it was the medication now.
Now, I am on a new lisinopril called Longes, which is made in Japan, so I became curious about the side effects. I will monitor this nedication for a few weeks and let you know if anything unusual happens. For now, it does appear to be controlling my BP.

I've only been on Advair for two weeks. I was diagnosed with asthma only about a month ago, but it's so slight. I had a little persistent cough and that's about it. In fact, the ten days after I was diagnosed with asthma and before I started Advair I actually felt better than I had in a long time.

I started Advair and about a dozen times a day my heart starts to race and I feel like my insides are trembling from head to foot. These feelings only last a minute or two, but they're very scary.

Also, I feel like something is caught in my windpipe. I feel really phlegmy which I never did before.

The really odd thing is that I've had a sore hip for many months, and the last two weeks it's gotten so bad that I keep waking up with the pain each night and can't find a comfortable position.

I finally made an appt. with my doctor, even though she didn't want to see me for two months. I decided to look to see what the side effects might be for Advair, and after looking at the first 20 comments (out of 752 of them), I was amazed and horrified. I think everything I have is caused by the Advair. Having asthma to the extent I have it is nothing compared to what I am going through.

After my second dose of inhaled Advair for Bronchitis I started feeling spacey and unable to concentrate. I had to keep laying down to "collect myself". As an hour went by I began trembling and feeling weak. Also, my windpipe felt like a big loose bruised bag in my throat. Went to the hospital because I was feeling anxious about my symptoms.

When they tested me I had a low heart rate, 58. All my blood work was good. I never took another dose and 36 hours late I'm almost 100%.

April 10, 2005- I was exposed to what is a suspected case of whooping cough and developed the symptoms quickly. I went in and was given something like tetracycline for 10 days. I was still coughing violently at the end and so went back in. A young doctor gave me Levaquin and I took 3 or 4 of the pills but developed a back ache and went in. That doctor x-rayed me to make sure I hadn't cracked ribs from coughing so hard. I hadn't. He put me on a different antibiotic. Within 3-4 days I went into the ER because I had one of my coughing attacks (they're violent and you can't inhale because a rubbery-like phlegm get stucks in your windpipe and your body tries everything to expell it!) As I coughed that time I suddenly felt a horrible pain, like something exploded deep inside my back, not a surface muscle. A separate pain started and that was a slow, burning, tearing feeling. I've never felt such intense pain. I couldn't raise my legs to sit in our car and so we called the ambulance. The ER md was more interested in my lungs and found that I did have some pneuonia as well, gave me morphine so that I could sleep for 24 hours, and told me to continue the antibiotics. He also told me to go ahead and finish out the Levaquin as well! And stupidly I did. I had pain from the tendon and whatever tear in my back for months. I couldn't sleep easily. I ended up having pneumonia again in Nov. 2005 and the coughing made that injury hurt again. This year I have Achilles tendonitis in both legs and fasciitis in one foot. I don't know how long it takes for Levaquin to clear out of the body and I also don't know if these symptoms are related to taking Levaquin last year. In looking back, I think it's odd that you'd prescribe a medicine that has the adverse effect of ruptured tendons and the like to a person that is having violent coughing for weeks on end. There were times during what we think was Pertussis, that I was coughing with that spasmodic type of cough 8 times a night and regular coughing every 5 minutes or more. If anyone was going to experience the adverse side effect, it would be a person using muscles repeatedly and violently! Don't you think???
I am so angry about all of this.

Feeling like I was choking. I felt like something was blocking my windpipe and it was from swelling in the throat.

Precribed Doxy for bronchitis and flu like symptons. Within hours of initial dose 2 x 100 mg caps, experienced nausea and vomitting, but worst of all was the pain in oesophagus. This felt like it had been scoured with coarse grade sandpaper and allowed me to swallow tepid water only. After three days stopped taking the Doxy. Nausea and vomitting have stopped but still unable to take solid foods due to pain in windpipe.
Am hoping this will subside now I am not taking the Doxy.
Horrendous stuff.
