Shortness Of Breath, Weakness In Left Limbs. Had Constipation Previously. Reason?

Doc, I have a little bit shortness in breathing and also little bit weakness in my left arm and leg. I am woried now and anxious about it. The symptoms do not persist, because sometimes they disappear. It started last saturday where in I had a diarrhea due to that I took loperamide then during Sunday the effect was reversed, this time I can t pooh until monday during office I felt like I am bloated and I cant breath that is why I decided to go the clinic. The doctor there said that it is normal due to my constipation but during wednesday my vowel movement is already fine I still felt the inability to breath normal and the litlle numbness in left leg and arm. Thursday no symptom then today I feel it again.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello,
after reading you history i think that the symptoms you have are because ofloperamide adverse affects which include abdominal pain,bloating,nausea,vomiting and constipation.So please dont use that drug for diarrhea again as it is banned in some countries too.Dont worry you will be fine soon as the action of the drug doesnt lasts for long time.Thank you
