Fainting

I have a history of fainting since being in my fifties. I have not fainted since 08. I started taking this medication. Have had three doses. Fainted today. How long before the meds are completely out of my system? I am out of the country. I see on the side effects it can cause fainting! I want it out of my system!!!!!! ## I'm sorry, but it may take a few days and there's really no way to make it process out any faster. It is an antibiotic and it doesn't actually cause fainting, but it can cause some dizziness and drowsiness. Learn more Azithromycin details here. Have you consulted a doctor? You might need to try a different medication.

I was a perfectly healthy 14 year old until I grew very tired and went to see a doctor. We got blood work done & my tsh level was 150 (very bad) so my endocrine put me on 88mcg of levo. Im a little over a month into taking it and I've become very short of breath, having trouble excersising and today I fainted. I felt really nauseous and within 1 minute I passed out. Has anyone else experienced this?? I don't think it's normal but I'm curious if or how they fixed it. thanks ## I've been on 100mcg once daily and never experienced any side effects at all that I've noticed except sweating profusely so if I was you I'd consult your doctor or pharmacist and explain to them what you're experiencing an let them know if it's anything to do with the levo or...

Would the combination of either of these medications cause fainting? I now take 5 mg of Abilify per day. I took my last pill of 100 mg fluconazole on yesterday ; also took a 3.50mg of remeron last night.. This morning I stared the 4mg of cyproheptadine. by the afternoon I fainted. I have not been eating as I should. I am very concerned now. I am now taken off of remeron, but will continue the Abilify and Cyproheptadine. ## Hi, Keanna! Sorry that you fainted. If you haven't been eating properly, that's the culprit you should probably look at first. If you're not eating properly and taking medications, especially the Abilify, which is a very strong one, then it tends to cause more pronounced side effects. Only your doctor can check you over and tell you for sure what has cause...

ive experienced fainting, diarrhea, severe abdominal cramps on the first day of my period starting again. Earlier i found my mefenamic acid tablets that was prescribed to me last year, i was wondering if i could take paracetamol as well as the mefenamic acid tablet. I have looked online to see if i could, but some websites say not to take it and some say you can, can anyone help me please? ## I've checked some of the most reliable webpages and haven't found any drug interactions listed between these two medications. I also came across the following paragraph from emedtv.com, stating: "If you do not take your mefenamic acid dosage as scheduled, take your missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with norma...

Also hand and feet are clamy and sweaty the last 2 weeks coinsided with the symtoms above. is 4his normal side effect ## No, the leg cramping and feeling like you're going to faint don't sound like typical hormonal side effects. Learn more hormone details here. I'd really suggest talking to your doctor, this may not be the right medication for you, or you may need a dosage adjustment and you should really have the other symptoms checked out. Is it just sweating, or a full hot flash?

side effects. posibility of dizziness, nausea and fainting? ## I've not heard of it causing fainting, but yes, it does regularly cause nausea, dizziness and headache. All medications can have different effects on different people. You may be on the wrong medication for you or on too high of a dosage. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? ## I was on Estratest HS .0625 mg since 1987 after a complete hystrectomy. The pharmacy took me off and has given me Estrogenmtest HS. Is this the same? I know have tender breast which I didn't have on the Estratest. At the time my doctor told me not to take a generic. I agrued with the paharmacist and they said they had to give me the generic for insurance porposes. It was not covered by my insurance company. I had to pay full price. I wou...

Two years ago I began having occasional episodes with fainting/passing out. It always happened when I was at rest, or even asleep. After many tests and even sleep studies, it was finally determined that these episodes were actually seizures. I was immediately put on Keppra, and that seemed to control them very effectively. The only problem I am having is the medication makes me feel tired and weak. I have been a runner and cyclist most of my adult life, and I am almost 70 years old, now. I still run and bike, but when I wake up and need to go for a run early, before going to work (still full time), I really don't feel like doing it. If I can make myself go ahead and start very slowly, I almost always feel much better afterwards. Sometimes, though, I feel too bad. I have to admit def...

Is it"normal" to have dizzyness and even occasional fainting when taking diclofenac sod 75mg.These have occurred upon rising from a supine position and lasts only seconds.Patient is on medication for elevated BPand having no problems.Diclofenac has been prescribed for back pain ## Hello, Dan! How is the patient doing? Has there been any change? The FDA patient leaflet for Diclofenac does list dizziness as being a possible side effect, along with nausea, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding, but the fainting is not common. Taking the fainting into consideration, along with the dizziness, the blood pressure medication you said the patient is on, as well as when these issues occur, I am more inclined to think they may be experiencing orthostatic hypotension. ...

The pill you received is Propylthiourcil 50mg. However, if it is not the same brand of pill that you were used to getting, it is possible that something in the inactive ingredients may disagree with you and be causing the nausea. You may want to speak to your doctor, either to get something to help prevent the nausea or ask the pharmacy if they can order in the brand that you were previously taki...

Hi, Last Christmas 12/2012 i fainted in a store and went to my GP because well fainting in a store. After ordering some tests thyroid panel (normal), sugar test (not diabetic), cholesterol (less than 150). He sent me to a cardiologist after seeing something slightly off kilter (something on the left axis?) The cardiologist said it was within normal but did prescribe Metoprolol 25mg tartrate 2x a day. He also said to eat a bag of chips on occasion, increase my salt intake and drink caffiene. My questions are: 1. is it normal to prescribe it to a person with low blood pressure Nov 28, 2012 it was 114/99 (i had a cold when this was taken) to 113/59 on Mar 23, 2013. 2. why would he prescribe this when it is normally used for people with high blood pressure? 3. Is it ok to take with multivit...

After one tablet of amox-clav 875 mg, I developed shakiness, rapid heartbeat, extreme flushing of my face, and general feeling of fainting. Went to ER and after some treatment, was released. Following days, experienced extreme pain in upper abdomen area. After two more trips to ER, was admitted and underwent battery of test showing gall bladder was shot. Had surgery to remove. Could this have been caused by the amox-clav? ## It's highly unlikely that just one dosage would cause such severe damage to your gallbladder. Learn more Augmentin details here. In many cases, it may go bad due to someone having a severely high fat diet and sometimes there really is no reason, it just happens. Learn more gallbladder details here. How has your recovery been?

My previously "no problem, small-dose aspirin", A-fib has become a problem; increasing, intensifying episodes of what my Dr. says is Paroxysmal A-fib, with weakness, fainting, sweating, trouble breathing. He prescribed this medication, taken one-half tab twice a day. I used to have low blood pressure but it's been normal, sometimes high, lately. I also have D.I.P., Fibromyalgia, take Tramadol & Klonapin. ## It is normal for your blood pressure to go up, when something is causing your heart to work harder than usual, so the changes you've experienced aren't surprising, though they do need to be carefully controlled. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, hair loss, and hypot...
