What Causes Headache,nausea And Discomfort In Stomach?
Question: I just had a physical and was told I had bacteria in the urine test. I just finished 5 days of cipro. Right after finishing the next day and today I have had a headache, nausea, quezzy stomach. No Loose stools. The week before my physical I was on a hiking and biking trip for a week. I felt like this 2 days before the trip, but managed to make it through. The symptoms were always there, but I could manage. Now I lust feel lousy like a mild case of the flu. Was thinking of going to urgent care tomarrow and then call my Doctor on Monday. I have another hiking trip planned in 2 weeks and sure won't be able to go feeling like this. When the doctor called to tell me I had a bladder infection I really didn,t have the symptoms of a bladder infection just the symptoms that I have now.
