Abdominal Pain - Started Taking Ramipril 3 Days Ago
Nov 28, 2015
I have had low and mid abdominal pain and bloating for a couple of days, which is getting worse. Since last night I have also had upper abdominal burning pain and nausea. I started taking Ramipril 3 days ago for high blood pressure and have read that gastrointestinal inflammation, abdominal discomfort and dyspepsia can be common side effects, so I am assuming this is the cause. I can't see a doctor for 3 days. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain/burning in the meantime please? I have taken paracetamol, a pro-biotic and gaviscon tablets to no effect.

I started taking tri-Lo Sprintec 9 days after the ending of my last period. I took the first 3 on time but I started getting really sick and couldn't hold anything down so I waited and doubled up on the the 6th day until i got caught up on day 9.dayWell I started I period on day 7. I thought the first 7 pills were placebos to help keep track.
Did I wait too long after my last day of my period to take them and being inconsistent with taking them caused me start a period? Also, if I keep taking them will it stop my period?
The menstrual blood itself looks dry blood with clots. But a few times its been red but again majority of it looks like dry blood.

I have had a "spasm" in my stomach for nine days. It it located about an inch to the left of my belly button and up a little higher. It feels like a mild labor contraction, though I'm a 48 year old female and not pregnant. It can also be described as a strong "butterfly" feeling. I have tried an anti-spasmodic medication, a muscle relaxer, and anti-inflammatories, though NOTHING relieves it. It spasms about every 10 seconds and lasts for about 1-2 seconds. My doctor couldn't feel a spasm. I've tried massage, heat, castor oil---nothing is helping. Any suggestions as to what it could be or how I can stop it from spasming?

I have just been put on citalopram 3 days ago on 20 mg. I'm so tired and have not left my bed in the past 3 days. My head feels weird and i do feel really sick till round the afternoon. I'm thinking of taking the tablet before bed see if that makes any difference as i might sleep through it. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms ? Will this actually work , i know it doesn't work straight off but will i start to feel better in time ?
I have zero energy , i feel constantly down , i hate leaving the house and i have shut myself of from the outside world. I have lost my friends but that was through my friend who went out to ruin my life and turned everyone against me. I really hope these tablets will help me get back to the person i was. Im going to start the gym once im more confident and have controlled my anxiety.

Today may 24 I just started taking my citalopram 10mg and at first I was okay. But then I felt overwhelmed. I felt like my head wasn't getting any oxygen. Like someone was sitting on my head. When for a car ride with my wife and just felt motion sickness. All day I didn't feel normal and then all of a sudden I just started crying for no reason. I had to force myself to eat. I feel really tired and drained but I can tend to even take a nap. I just don't know what to do.

Iv started citalopram yesterday 20mg but the dr only told me to start with half to start with. I am 22. Never been on any tablets like this before so I am really scared. I constantly feel dizzy like I'm going to die and pass out and sick and feel like someone is standing on my head. Does anyone know when the side effects will go? And are these tablets any good? When you start seeing results? I know the dr told me to only start taking half but I already feel panicky and dizzy.

I've always had bad self esteem and body image issues. But recently since I had my doctor I've started taking laxatives to lose weight. I'll take a whole box or drink a whole bottle of milk magnesia. I've cut back to only one small meal every few days and right now I haven't really eaten in four days.
I have to weigh myself constantly because if I don't know how much I weight I freak out. If I eat anything my first thought is to get it out of me. Food in general has been making feel sick lately. It's becoming gross. Even the sight of it or somebody eating is gross.
I need to eat but the number on the scale just keeps going down and I'll tell myself this is my last laxative. I'll eat tomorrow. But the number will be low and I'll think that if I do it for one more day then it'll get lower.
I'm wondering if I could be developing an ED. I'm not super thin. Infact, ever since having my daughter I'm a little over weight. Would I even be aware of it if I had one?

I'm 37, my hight 1.80 and I weight 79 kg. My average blood pressure is 138/90. My GP prescribed me Ramipril 1.25mg.
I reduced my salt intake, stopped drinking caffeine, stopped drinking alcohol and started going to the gym regularly. I completely changed my life style.
What I would like to know is: If my blood pressure comes back to normal after the treatment, can I stop taking blood pressure medicine or I have to take it for the rest of my life?

I started bleeding 3 days after my period it started light but continued to get very heavy using 3-4 pads a day then a few days ago it started to slow down and showed signs of stopping when the red turned to brown but restarted again, My period is due in 9 days and this definitely doesn't feel like a period too me.
I'm not on the pill as i was having issues and came off it last year since i stopped using the combined pill my period has sorted itself out a lot.
I don't think i am pregnant as even if i was bleeding for this long would mean a issue?

Today is Day 7 of taking Duromine 40mg, first time taking Duromine!
I started weighing 75kgs, I was on Liproxenol for 2 months and went to the gym nearly everyday, or did some sort of exercise & lost 5kgs. Stopped after that as it didn't seem to work anymore? Then I put 3kgs back on which brings me back to 73kgs. I then lost 2.5kgs just eating healthy and working out daily. So I went to the local Dr. Who prescribed me Duromine 40mgs, I started the next , only got 2 weeks worth as I wanted to see how my body would react to them.
Day 1: I woke up at 6am took the tablet and fell back asleep, at 7:40am I woke up with a burst of energy didn't even feel like I just had woken, throughout the day constant dry mouth, no hunger pains at all, energy went up and down by 11pm that evening I still hadn't eaten just drank water non stop all day long, nothing seemed to stop my dry mouth! As much as I wanted to eat I tried to force myself to eat toast but couldn't at all.
Day 2: 6am took the tablet, felt kind of scattered out and " out of it " didn't have as much energy as the day before, still dry mouth! Drank lots of water, I constantly feel like I need to "pee" but its like a busting feeling but go and its nothing at all? Frustrating! I was able to eat a apple, 2 pieces of toast and picked at dinner later that night, around 10pm that night I felt hungry, but would try and eat and couldn't stomach it
Day 3: Felt tired , took the pill at 6am but this time slept till 10:30! Woke up, still very thirsty, not much energy, felt very dizzy and felt like I needed to be sick! I only ate a few oranges that day and ate dinner as normal! It feels like to me it stops working in the evening more towards 11pm..
Day4: I gave myself a break didn't take it this day, and it was like my body had no effect to the duromine all I wanted was food food food! Had breakfast lunch & dinner!
Day5: Took it at 7am, hour later straight up with a burst of energy, dry mouth same effects as day 1, also dizzy, felt weak but felt hungry went for a walk to burn some of that energy! Stayed in bed for all the afternoon after the walk..But was able to eat later that evening..
Day6: 7am took it , slept till 9:30ish woke up felt normal only had a dry mouth, energy wasn't any different, ate subway for lunch 6inch and had dinner as normal no picking felt hungry still after?
Day7: 7am took it, slept till 9am didn't feel like eating today at the start, around 12 got hunger pains, at 3 apples, then later had 2 scrambled eggs with tomato ( struggled to handle the smell or eat them ) just before forcing myself to eat them I was starting to feel sick, very very dizzy! After I forced myself I felt like I was going to be sick, laid down and felt weak and tired for a few hours. Then for dinner and a small portion of it.. Felt hungry after but everytime I go to eat my mind sort of rejects it?
I exercise morning and night and try to around lunch time as well everyday, I walk wherever I have to go that's not a massive distance! I drink glasses a day of water, and I eat healthy when I do it.
I weighed myself today at 70kgs!!?
Why is this working so slow for me? Specially when my eating has come down so much, I exercise daily!? It's like nothing is changing.. Anyone have any ideas? I feel like Duromine is a waste? I read all these success stories but struggling to lose weight?

I have been on the pill for a year and I stopped taking it just over a month ago. I was having sex just up until I stopped taking it (long distance relationship). Just after I stopped taking it I had a light period but since then I haven't got a period again and it's currently 12 days late. I had some PMS right before I was supposed to get my period but it never came. I'm scared that I could be pregnant because I know a girl who didn't know she was pregnant until it was too late because she was still getting her period! Do you think I could be pregnant or that my period is just irregular (my period was regular before I took the pill).

I was recently put on this medication for PPD and anxiety, I was hesitant from the beginning. Last night after 2 hours of taking my 10 mg dosage I felt so out of it and felt like I was dreaming, shortly after I felt my head on fire. Soon it moved to the rest of my body. I was so scared, fiancé decided to take me to the hospital because he saw how I was. He also noticed my eyes were extremely dilated. The doctor that seen me just pretty much said stop taking it and call your dr first thing but it's the weekend so I'm out of luck. Right now I'm still feeling out of it, sweaty palms, anxious. Not really wanting to leave the couch. I feel worse now then when I started this medication. I regret taking this drug, it completely scared me to take any sort of antidepressant.

Im on birth control for about 10 days (I'm taking jolessa, for the 91 days cycle). Last night I had unprotected sex, but my boyfriend told me that he didn't cum inside. I had diarrhea last friday (I think it affects the birth control pills), and I took one pill one hour late. Should I take the morning after pill or am I fine?

I have had issues with a frequent urination and a constant pressure on my bladder for over a year now. But since January of this year I have been experiencing extreme pain in my low low abdomen (like groin/cervix area). The pain also resides in my stomach and back. My ribs are sore to touch and I am constantly achy. I have been to the doctors who have done internal exams and say that everything LOOKS ok. I am 20 years old and my periods are regular. The pain is becoming a real problem and I'm becoming increasingly concerned. I have had ultrasounds on my pelvis and kidneys and they were fine. I've been put on meds to stabilise my bladder, but the gynaecologist won't see me for another 4 months. I know there is something further wrong with me - I can't understand why the pain keeps occurring. I don't enjoy having sex due to pain and a constant discomfort and pressure-like feeling. I'm starting to get very depressed as there is no diagnosis being made and all the tablets I am given do nothing.
