Suggest Treatment For Dizziness, Blurred Vision And Constipation

default
Posted on Mon, 3 Apr 2017
Question: Hey hows it going Dr. Llir Sharka. This is XXXXXXX McAtee again, the one with the GERD symptoms. I think I may have found my problem and feel incompetent for not thinking about it before. The night that all my symptoms started to occur I took a generic walmart brand of Nyquil.

Side effects which I have found on the warning label:
Drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, upset stomach, nausea, nervousness, constipation, or dry mouth/nose/throat may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (such as confusion, hallucinations), shaking, trouble urinating.

Tell your doctor right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, seizure.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

I witnessed about 6 to 7 of these side effects. I don't know why I didn't think to mention that before.

Just wanted to put that out there. P.S. my condition is getting much better, thanks.

Brief Answer:
I agree with you about Nyquil adverse effects.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back again on HCM!

I am glad that you are feeling better now!

Regarding Nyquil, I agree with you in the fact that it can cause all these adverse effects.

So, probably your symptoms are related to its intake.

You should know that its components can cause increased anxiety and agitation and also exacerbation of GERD. From the other hand they can cause stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, thus leading to increased heart beat and dizziness.

So, there is nothing to worry about.

Hope to have been helpful!

Let me know about everything!

Regards,

Dr. Iliri
