shortness of breath dizziness and swollen right ankle
by daddysow, May 12, 2006 12:00AM
Hi, my father was at work, and as he was leaving he felt dizzy and had shortness of breath. He is 59 and I believe that maybe he just over did it. The next morning his right ankle to mid-calf was swollen and looked like a sunburn. It is not numb, it does not tingle, and it does not burn. He has a lung infection and has been taking medicine for that for about a week. He has recently changed his diet for his cholesteral. I wonder if this is a result of new medicine, changing his diet, or could it just be over doing it. I'm also wondering what questions could he ask his doctor on tuesday. I thank you for your time.

what was your father taking? It sounds like he was given a quinolone (levaquin, cipro, avelox, tequin) Have him contact his dr. Sounds like an adverse reaction to antibiotic. Let us know.
