What Is Peripheral Edema

Iv been taking gabapentin and iv been having sharp pains in my head that goes to my eyes why is that ## Hi Dameris, Based on my research, Gabapentin was originally developed for the treatment of epilepsy, and is currently widely used to relieve neuropathic pain. Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities); these mainly occur at higher doses, in the elderly. However, headaches/migraines and eye pain are a couple of the rare and unexplained side effects, so I would speak with a doctor about the problems you are experiencing.

my Dr has changed my medication fron norco to percocet, and now my feet and ankles are swelling severely. What is the difference between hydrocodone and oxycodone? ## They are both narcotic analgesics, however, the Oxycodone is stronger than they Hydrocodone. Oxycodone, by itself, doesn't usually cause peripheral edema, however, it could be the Acetaminophen, since it can sometimes cause people to retain fluids and, if that is what is causing it, it would have also happened with the Norco. Have you consulted your doctor? Whenever edema occurs, it is very important to discover what is causing it, since it can be a sign of other serious medical conditions. Even swelling of the feet and legs can be a sign of congestive heart failure. ## This isn't listed as a common side effect in ...

Today is my 5th full day of Belviq and I am exhausted. I'm tired and a little dizzy all day, but at night I seem to have trouble falling asleep - but once asleep I am out cold. Can you tell me how long this will last? Should it start getting better? I hate the side effects but have already lost 6 pounds, which is just a miracle. I want to stay on this, but being tired is just making things so hard! ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

However, side effects usually do go away, once your body gets used to a medication, so they will generally hit their full intensity at about 3 to 4 weeks in, then they sh...

My Wife Is Suffering From Heavy Breathing, since 2 days , and she has complain of back pain also ## Anytime that someone is facing a medical emergency, you should contact your nearest emergency services department or take them there for proper diagnosis and treatment. Just from the information you have provided, no one can give you a definitive diagnosis and suggest treatments. That will require a doctor and the use of medical tests. There are many conditions that could cause this problem. Some are not actually dangerous and just cause discomfort, such as GERD, indigestion and gastritis. However, others, such a congestive heart failure, can be life threatening. Does she have any other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure? Does she suffer from peripheral edema?

I have been out of lisinopril for a couple of weeks, and have noticed my feet are swelling up, and was wondering if not taking it could cause the swelling. ## Hello, Donna! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. Suddenly stopping such a medication can cause rebound effects, which may include dangerously elevated blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral edema as you're experiencing, all of which could lead to heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. You need to see your doctor to have this checked out, as soon as possible, and in the future, be careful not to run out of your medication. You should always keep a supply on hand and make sure to pick up a refill, before running out. Is there anything else I can help with?
