What Causes Headaches And Dizziness After Taking Augmentin?

hello, I have recently started taking augmentin now I m starting feel strange. I have weird headaches I guess they more like a head rush I can feel what seems to be a heart beat rhythm and my hearing comes and go at the same time. I m weak, dizzy, my balance is off and my vision has changed, I am far sighted but now my vision is blurry and my cognitive abilities are off as well. I have type 2 diabetes although my A1c is just over the limit and I have sleep apnea and I m taking 50mg losartan .

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You should know that taking Augmentin as all antibiotics can cause side effects but these above mentioned side effects (headaches, dizziness) are very rare( reported as incidence not known). Furthermore, I think that these symptoms could be related to other causes related to diabetes or taking Losartan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
