urine/water infection - does it cause nausea/dizziness?

[TheArmadillo]

Am on antibiotics for urine/water infection but with it (started before taking the antibiotics) I have bad nausea/dizziness. At least once a day the room spins badly and I have to lie on the floor (doesn't help other than being something I can't fall off) - it's worse when I go to bed, but the nausea is almost constant.

Still as bad, if not worse even though I am finishing course of antibiotics today and the infection seems to have cleared.

Wondering if not properly cleared up whether it will flare up again now I won't be taking the antibiotics. Or whether something completely unrelated and will need to go back to gps.

TIA

No chance you're pg is there?

I would go back to the gp, needs looking into whatever it is.

well it would be nice to think so but period only finshed about 10 days or so ago and this started a few days later.

going back to gps is probably going to be good idea then.

I just hate going to the drs - I seem to have a weird fear of them

I don't know about urine infections but antib's can do wierd things to my body. I get a really upset tummy.

yeah maybe it's just teh infection made me feel sick adn then the antibiotics did so there was crossover.

I won't be able to get to drs before it's all closed for the holidays so will see how I feel when back open again.

Thanks both of you

I would go back to GP however I know that I feel dizzy and sick if I don't eat something before taking anti'

nausea/dizziness can be part of a UTI but they can also be caused by a billion other things from low blood pressure to dehydration to labyrinthitis. Be very careful - driving, walking, hanging round at the top of the stairs...

If not stopped after bank holiday I will go back.

Was really bad this morning but improved as the day went on - am losing appetite though.

Thanks

i've just got over a really bad UTI ( 3 sets of AB's) and I had several 'spinny' episodes and felt mildly nauseous quite a lot too. First time I have been afflicted with a UTI and it was nasty.

Yes, my mum ended up in hospital at the end of Nov last year with a very bad UTI.
