stomach pain and sickness


Question Posted Wednesday January 9 2008, 6:50 am

Ok,so I have been sick for over a month and been put on medicine for it. Just recently (as in the last few days), I have begun to feel stomach pains. I'm not sure if it is acid reflux or what but its like a burning feeling in my stomach and in my chest. So I would try to eat something hoping that would make it feel better, but it doesn't. I have also thrown up while feeling this and it had a very strong acidic taste to it. What could be causing this?

DN took the words out of my mouth.
You could be having a reaction to the medicine, and not a good one at all.
Like DN said, you should contact your doctor right away.

I always found it best to not take medicine I don't research first. Yes, of course I trust my doctor, but I want to know what exactly I'm putting into my body, and what it can potentially do to me other than help me.

When I'm prescribed something, I type in the name of the drug (should be right there next to "x amount of MG") to look up side effects.
For example, I would type into the search engine: Pen VK side effects (Pen VK is penicillin).

Under the side effects of your medicine, there will be a list of side effects/allergic reactions you need to beware of. You know, the rotten stuff you need to tell your doctor about right away.

Hi there,

what you are describing could very easily be an adverse reaction to whatever drug you might be taking.

Nobody here is a doctor, and even if they were, the best advice you would get would be to phone your doctor immediately and inform him/her of what is going on with your acid/stomach problems.

Now, being overly acidic like that can be very, very bad for you. Throwing up like that is what causes damage in bulimic girls.

Very important that you talk to your doctor right away. (As in now.)

Could be something normal for the drug that they know all about, and they simply switch you to something else or give you something additional to take.

Don't delay, please.
