What Do You Suggest For Hot Sweats And Sour Stomach When On Metformin?
I'm having problems with cold sweats, hot sweats, sour stomach, headaches, and a mild rash on my chest. Sometimes I itch so bad that I can't concentrate. These signs started when I was prescribed Metformin. These signs wear off after digesting the Metformin. The sweats are so bad that it is embarrassing to go out in public, my clothes are soaked and my face turns red. I also take Victoza, Celebrex, Lyrica, Cymbalta, Hydromorphone.
It is getting worse and worse. Should I ask my MD to change me to something else?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem the chances of idiopathic pruritus is very likely, you have to keep the stress level very low, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine
1) Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg three times in day
keep your rest of the medicine on schedule, hope this information helps you, have good day.
