Oh, no no no no! I was prescribed two NSAIDs back in Oct of 21, and only took them for two weeks. The issues I got from them haven't stopped since. High blood pressure, difficulty breathing (They've at least added almost the same amount if not more issues as my smoking had up to that time. Constantly coughing up sugary, salty phlegm), and about a year ago an off-and-on pain just below my front ribs (All across), oh, and dizziness...really really really bad dizziness...Used to be worse than my pains, but I think that's changing.
Oh, and a doctor prescribed omeprozole to help with the stomach and lungs in February of 22, and I gained almost 20 pounds in one month...I have only gained that much weight that fast once in my lifetime, and that's when I attempted to quit smoking in 99 or 98. Only recently have I finally gone under 200 lbs, but I'm still 5 away from my heaviest, and 10 from my weight before I took the omeprozole.
Which is one thing I'm seriously worried about, the first two years my lungs would clear up once in a while, and I could breathe normally, but about mid to late 2023 they have not gone back to being that good at all. No matter how I feel. I really need to get screened, but of course, I finally get the nerve to stand up for myself and setup a doctors appointment, now I have to find a whole new way to live, yeesh!
Damn dude, sorry to hear that.
