What Causes Nausea,headache And Dizziness After Taking Injection On Spine?

I haven't felt well for a few days. I get injections in my spine for lower back pain, sciatica, and hip bursitis. I've been getting them for a few years and everything has been fine, but this last time was different. I felt the intense pain of the injection, which I don' t usually and felt very sore since Tuesday. For the last two days, I've felt very nauseated, shortness of breath, headache, dizzy (easily like when I barely move my eyes), and I have a constant swooshing sound in my head that's driving me crazy. I'm also growing a bump in the middle of my forehead for no apparent reason as of today. I'm scared and feeling really bad.

hi, its very difficult to pinpoint the reason for such a feeling after the injection that you said you have been receiving. Usually such symptoms happen if any medicine or air enters the Cerebrospinal fluid, i.e. thae fluid in and around the spinal cord. these symptoms are usually harmless and settle in a time span of 5-7 days by taking rest, coffee 2-3 cups a day, fresh fruit juices and bed rest. in case you start getting vomiting, fever, or stiffness in the neck or back you shall immidiately consult your doctor.
