My local Pulmo Dr put me on Bactrium DS since my sputum culture showed MRSA. Well, since the first dose, I've been having an issue. About an hour after I eat I get sick. One minute I am fine, then *bam* I feel really sick. When I get this sick feeling, I feel flushed, weak, lightheaded, HR seems to increase/beat harder and extreme nausea, also sometimes have anxiety. I thought my sugar was dropping, but when I check it, it's fine. I've tried taking Zofran and/or Phenergan for the nausea, but the only thing that really relieves it is to actually throw-up. I'm not sure what is going on. Last time I had something like this happen, it was with Levaquin, but it always happened after I took the medicine. Because of it, I'm not allowed to take Levaquin anymore. But this time it will happen if I just took my medicine or if I havent had my dose yet. The Bactium is the only thing to change, and it didnt start until I began taking it. So I'm guessing that is what is causing it. I'm not allergic to Bactrium to my knowledge. In the past 36 hours, I have eaten 7 times, I've kept food down for about 3 of them. What I eat doesnt seem to matter either, something bland, something greasy, large, small....all get the same reaction. I am down to 103-106 lbs (suppose to be 115-120) and I do not need to keep this up. I can't afford to lose anymore weight. Anyone have any suggestions or know what is going on?? Thanks in advance.
