I have been on Levaquin for 5 days and have had an ache and tight...

I am also on Levaquin - 3 days of 5 - was up all night w/ indigestion, concerning neck pain (on the outside - right where it bends below your chin when you look down) - have a sort of gagging feeling inside (not like sore throat pain at all) - but breathing is clear (not constricted) - have been nauseous for several days and am not taking the last 2 days of Levaquin - and am also willing to risk the infection's return. - hope you're feeling better!

I was taking Levaquin 3 weeks ago and I developed a pain in the left side of my chest which lasted for the entire 3 days that I took it. I also had other problems with my stomach and high blood glucose readings. I believe after reading about this drug that it never should be prescribed for use by diabetics. There are safer antibiotics and I was switched to another after alerting my doctor to my symptoms. If your physician isn't informed well enough to recognize Levaquin's well known side effects (which you were clearly experiencing), I advise you to get a new doctor right away. Don't risk the infection returning or worsening, Get another doctor to prescribe a different safer antibiotic as soon as possible.
