Is Taking Cough Syrup Causes Dizziness And Nausea?
I recently had a cold & went to the Dr. Last week. I was prescribed a Z-pack & cough syrup. The cough has eased up but out of nowhere tonight I started shaking & feeling light headed and dizzy and really nauseous . Almost to the point of me not wanting to talk because talking makes me dizzy. Any idea what's going on?
