ok I get how crazy I must sound right now or just lately 😑. But I was sitting down just looking at my phone and I suddenly came over all weird 😕. My head hurt, my chest felt weird and I was wheezy, and felt so queezy and I feel fine now is it possible it's anxiety hitting me at random ( I am on antibiotics for an infection in my foot aswell) I know sooo random been dealing with this for a whole month anyway what do you think it is because I feel fine now it was like this random wave of weirdness lasted about 10 minutes I would say. I felt out of breathe aswell but like I said fine now 🤔🙈.

Any suggestions ( promise I won't bite anyones head of, just any advice on what could be causing this 😕.

I have just finished a course of antibiotics (have ear infection) and the side effects always seem to give me weird feelings in my head. They also give me anxiety and deoression. Horrible things, but we have to take them. I have to go back to doctor again as not cleared up and is making me very stressed out thinking something is seriously wrong. I don’t know what antibiotics you are on but some l can’t take owing to side effects. I hope you soon feel better but if not go back to doctor or ask Pharmacist if the antibiotics are causing this. You are like me Yumz, having a bad spell of health right now and it really gets you down. ❤️😩

Yeahhh it really does! I felt so down yesterday was having really negative thoughts, I hope your ear infection clears up that can make you feel so terrible x can the antibiotics suddenly start making you feel ill even after 4 days of taking them?? X hope you feel better soon ❤️

I think they can because they say antibiotics don’t start to kick in until 3 days. I don’t think anyone feels great on them to be honest. I hope you soon feel better and the infection goes. The anxiety makes me worse and is difficult to cope with at times. 🥰🥰🥰

I would say if it's a random one-off happening then don't worry about it, but if it happens again get medical advice. There could be many reasons, including antibiotics, useful to know if any of them give you a reaction.Best of luck, please keep us updated.

My BP dropped when I had an infection, then went back to normal (for me) for a while. All of a sudden it just plummeted, currently on a half dose of both medications that affect BP. I must admit I felt pretty rubbish when it was low, much as you describe, except my head didn't hurt. X

To be honest I have a lot going on, but fingers crossed it won't be too long now before I get some answers, and hopefully a plan of action. Thanks for asking. X.

Have you got a cardiologist appointment soon? Log the date time and symptoms down and when you see them mention it, also mention you was on antibiotics.

I have made a note of it on my phone with the rest of my symptoms i have been keeping a symptom diary. I noticed aswell that I was lying on my back and I had to sit up because I was wheezy, ( I have asthma aswell and had already taken my inhalers) didn't last long, I laid on my right side. Did wake up with a weird feeling in my chest but I think that just normal and some of the symptoms of a dodgy valve 🙈x

That’s good you’re on the ball recording, but we never know if something else is going on with our heart, it doesn’t hurt to mention any new symptoms to the professionals.

Most of the times it’s the symptoms that causes anxiety not the other way round.

Not what you're looking for?
