What To Prescribe For Dizziness

I'm 74 years old. I woke up and felt dizzy one day, so my Dr. prescribed Pulmison 20mg (4 tablets/day for 5 days). After taking it the 1st day I broke out with a red rash on my face and body; my face is lightly swollen. I took the tablets now for 3 days and want to stop. Please advise. ## You may be allergic to this medication, so it could be dangerous for you to continue taking it, or to ever take it, again. The NIH lists those as possible allergic reaction symptoms. Have you had this checked out by your doctor? What reason did they say they were prescribing the Pulmison?

My dermatologist prescribed me Doxycycl hyc 100 mg to be taken for 3 months! Is it normal to take antibiotics for that long? I m not sure what for did she prescribed those exactly... I have eczema on my hands and acne on my back . Normally prescribed creams help to clear out my skin. Do i really need to take those pills? ## Hello, Lana! How are you? Doxycycline is an antibiotic that is frequently used to treat acne and yes, in that case it is taken for a long period of time. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It is up to you whether or not you take them, but my guess is that it's for the acne on your back. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I'm a 26 year old male. It was a usual night I was sleeping and suddenly I felt numbness in my left leg and left arm and I don't know whether it was because of my sleeping posture. I felt it was some other problem and suddenly my heart started to pump fast and i was sweating and finally i managed somehow and i slept. The next day I was googling the symptoms and mistakenly assumed it was stroke and went to see a neurologist.. The doctor said it was just because of depression and stress.. But I don't have that much stress or felt depressed. Then the doctor prescribed me nexito 10mg, amicon and supranex. Then for a day I was normal but by the next day while getting up I can lift my legs and hands but my mind can't feel it. Then it was normal for a few minutes. Then I stoppe...
