What causes shortness of breath and numbness in lower legs while taking flagyl for IBS?
Patient: I am 67 years old and take generic for Flagyl. Two 500mg per day for IBS. I have shortness of breath that eases after sitting or laying on my right side. When up and moving it is very difficult to breathe and with exertion almost impossible. There is also swelling and numbness in the lower legs and feet. Urination at times is more like dribbling and takes a long time to stop. Other times it is very slow and weak stream, then once or twice a month as normal as it was at 50. I also have severe allergies that have not been diagnosed yet and the meds keep me dehydrated. Doctor: HIThank for asking to HMCI can understand your concern, you have to keep your moral high, because of the highly depressive state of mind such symptoms are very likely, you have to come out of this condition, apprehensiveness, obsession, these are not good for health, you have to be mentally fit, otherwise there would be no limits IBS is the near example of this, I hope this information helps you, take care and have good time.
