Backache

I have been on Prexum 4mg for a month and my bloodpressure only came down to 140/95. I had lower back aches most days and stopped running and cycling. There wasn't much improvement with the back ache. Then I went onto Prexum plus 2 weeks ago as the Dr wanted BP to be lower. I now have severe back ache and lower back spasms that even walking seems to make it worse. I have been to the chiropractor as well as the physio with no improvement. Could this be a side effect of the medication? ## Yes, some blood pressure and cardiac medications can cause that as a side effect, as reported by the NIH. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. You may be better served by switching to a different medication. Is this your only daily medication?

I suffer from abdominal pain and lower backache since I started taking Tecta. Could the Tecta be causing these symptoms? ## From what I've found, Tecta contains the active ingredientantoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach and yes, it can cause these types of side effects in some people. Have you contacted your doctor? It just may not be the right medication for you. ## I took oralcon just to stop the bleeding and I happened to also drink the red ones. Now I'm having abdominal pains after finishing the red one...what must I do

which is the best painkiller for low backache? Is it Voveron, Tolifast or Echochyte 60 or any other? ## I am suffering from back pain for last 4 days i am taking Tramajc 50 mg twice a day no relief in India ## Do either of you have a diagnosis as to what's causing your back pain? Has any testing been done? Learn more pain details here. That would be the place to start, you need to find out what's causing your pain, in order to find the proper solution. If you don't and you just take pain medications on your own, you may end up doing permanent damage, only to find out later that to start off, it was a minor injury that could have been easily remedied.

I was on Victoza and was losing weight and my sugar count was way down. Then I started having stomach pain and backaches, so my doctor took me off of it and put me on Cycloset. Even though I do feel better I'm starting to eat like I was before and am also gaining some weight back. Is this normal? I need to lose weight badly. I've been on it for one week. Thanks. ## Cycloset contains the active ingredient Bromocriptine and it has not been shown to cause significant weight gain. How have your blood sugar levels been? This could be just a reaction to their fluctuating from switching medications. If they are higher, because of a rebound effect, while your body gets used to the new medication, then that could be causing more hunger, so you eat more and will gain some weight. However,...
