Frequent Urination And Chest Pain Upon Taking A New Medication. Is There A Remedy For This?
Since an year, whenever i take a new drug prescribed by doctor, Iam getting so much reactions. I frequently urinate for 1-2 days of starting the drug, get pain in chest , left side of the body , kidney till legs. When I stop the medication , it takes 2 more days to get that pain down. When I spoke to my doctor, they are saying it is only you that is facing this problem. Iam not knowing what to do.. how can I get treated if it is reacting like this. Whom should I show for my problem.. Please advice.

Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Reaction to a drug is a well known phenomenon.
But it can not occur 'whenever a new drug is prescribed.'
The variety of symptoms you describe do not seem to fit into known patterns of reaction or disease - so much so, it sounds like fear reaction...
I wonder you should see a Psychiatrist - he will be able to assess your mental reaction.
Don't worry. Going to a psychiatrist does not mean one is crazy - no more than going to a cardiologist meaning heart attack. He can exclude or confirm the suspicion. If he finds nothing, then an internist specialised in Allergy and Immunology should investigate.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
