Diagnosed with beginning of walking pneumonia yesterday and placed on Symbicort inhaler and Cipro.

Currently experiencing light shaking, heart is beating hard and fast and honestly I feel paranoid as shit about what's going on outside even though I know everything is fine.

Already called my doctor, waiting for a call back.

Relax, take your meds, and give it about 48hrs.

You will likely feel better by Thursday. Right now you ar psyching yourself out, which causes all these symptoms.

You will be fine. Just settle down.

The shaking and tachycardia are more than likely from the albuterol. Paranoia never experienced that side effect from any of those drugs.

Did the reaction happen a soon as you took the albuterol?

I'm allergic to most pain meds and have had over 15 facial reconstruction surgeries. Tongue depressors and Tylenol when they cracked my skull split my face down the middle and cut cartilage from the backs of my ears to make my nose. I've sucked up more than my share.

Of course pics or bullshit applies here.

No Albuterol usually just makes me dizzy. Been using that shit for as long as I can remember and only do so as a last resort. This is less of the spaced out feeling from Albuterol and more of a direct nervous paranoid feeling. Shit is weird.

There's you problem....

These symptoms hit hard after you hit you inhaler?....Subside there after?

ETA: Just read you're hitting albuterol PRN....Symicort and Albuterol might be a bad mix for you.

It's the Albuterol. For a great many people it's like mainlining caffeine.

That said, Cipro meeeehhh. I'm not a human medicine doctor, but I do deal with resistance and epidemiology. I think z-packs are over prescribed and whatnot, and prefer combined therapies in general. That said, I think 2 Z-packs would have been the most foolproof course of action.

I totally agree, and most are not taken per instructions (ie...not finished)

Scar goes from base of my nose up and dissects a 2nd scar that runs from ear to ear. Also a few scars hidden in my eye brows where they had to lift and tuck skin
as I grew. I currently have 2 screws backing out of the nose bone rubbing against the skin to the point that you can see the slot in the head of the screw. Crazy stuff.

Not sure if we have any plastic surgeons in the group, but I'm sure some of you know Bill Magee.

Ah hell, you turned out just fine.

Better looking than lots of other "normal" arfcommers I've seen.

I do alright for myself. When people ask me what happened I usually just tell them not to run with scissors.

Cipro is a damn poor choice for community acquired pneumonia.
