Sudden Weakness...Sweating...and Nausea?

Right now i'm home from work for the next 3 days due to an injury...(see other posts) anyways as you know if you read my other posts...the other day i fell down a flight of wooden stairs and had to go to the ER...right now i have on 3 diff meds for pain and swelling...percocet, robaxin and naproxen...anyways about a good 20 mins ago i was standing up and almost nearly fell over...i got extremely weak to the point where i could hardly stand...i then started getting Nausea to the point of gagging and nearly throwing up...my entire body then got really hot and sweaty...i basically might be coming down with something on top of my injuries...has anyone ever had this happen to then? It passed as quickly as it came but i still sorta feel weak in the legs and such now....Could this be from my bad fall or the meds that i am on because of it? or am i just coming down with the flu on top of my nasty fall?
Sudden Weakness...Sweating...and Nausea?
the 3 meds your on, percocet being an opiate pain killer, robaxin being a skeletal muscle relaxer and naproxen being an NSAID all lower your blood pressure considerably. If you went from sitting to standing you may have just had a bad case of orthostatic hypotension...basically when you sit down your blood pressure is one thing and when you stand up it drops for a minute before it raises back up to it's normal level and that sudden drop can make you extremely light headed and all the meds your on may have made it more severe than it would ever normally be. if it persists pretty bad then you might wanna get checked to make sure you dont have something else.

i am a nursing student and i looked your meds up in my drug book and both the robaxin and percocet can cause dizziness, light-headedness and also hypotension, which is dizziness and light-headedness when standing, also both can cause nausea,try taking meds with a small snack, if vomiting gets worse, you should probably report to your dr. thanks, hope this helped!
Reply:Sound like all the drugs you are on...I can't even take one of those meds without feeling that way





You getting hot/sweaty and weak is what happens to your body before you vomit or pass out.........
