What Causes Dizziness And Difficulty In Urination While On Cipro?

Posted on Sat, 30 Apr 2016

Question: Since last fall I have had 5 infections. Each time I have been on Cipro 500mg BID. Sept. my lymph nodes under my right arm all swelled up. The next two times I had a tooth extraction and got an infection from each extraction. Then I had two sinus infections. My sinuses had been bothering since this fall so I not sure how long I had the infection. This last time I ask the Dr. to help me figure out what was going on. they did some lab work and said I had low thyroid. they put me on Synthyroxin 88MCG. I have asked for the labs Thursday but I feel like there is a great deal of resistance. At the first and second dose of the Synthyroxin, I felt good. Today I feel terrible. I am really dizzy, weak, can't pee but dribbles, I have a h/a and it feels foggy and my sinuses are hurting again. What going on? I stopped the Cipro and the Synthyroxin.
could my teeth be causing all this trouble. I probably have more to pull?

Seems to be due to under active thyroid..

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain I have noted your history of multiple dental infections, sinus issues along with having under active thyroid..
Taking medication like Synthyroxin 88MCG and Ciprofloxacin..

It seems that the symptoms of dizziness, difficulty in urination and fogginess are all due to thyroid related deficiency..
As the sinuses are also hurting it also seems to be adding up to discomfort..
But the main reason for the symptoms are due to thyroid and is not due to tooth infection..
I would suggest you to consult an ENDOCRINOLOGIST and get evaluated again so that he can advise further investigations and advise you medication accordingly..
Once you start feeling better you can very much proceed with further dental extractions..
As of now you should not stop the medicines without consulting the concerned Physician..

Any further questions are welcome..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
