Pregabalin nightmare or something serious? Please help.

Around 5 months back I saw a greyish/brown flat spot on my back close to the spine. The doctor told me to ignore it.

Then in Dec 18 I developed random back pain with tingling and numbness & a cough, all issues that persist today, doctor then prescribed :

Lyrica/Pregabalin 75mg x 2, Muscoril/thiocolchicoside x 2,

Lornoxicam x 2

Last week after consultation with the doctor I started skipping my morning dose of Pregabalin and only took the night dose. The next morning I woke up feeling nausea and diarrhea. This continued for 2 days but now for the last 5 days I've been experiencing severe night sweats which actually takes place in the morning between 8-10 am. I wake up drenched in sweat and for some reason my chest feels very uncomfortable with me coughing for better part of an hour.

I really don't know what's going on and if this is something serious or just a side effect/withdrawal of pregabalin? The doctor is not responding to my messages either.

Please help me understand what's going on.
