I wonder if anyone else has had the same problems?
I have got lots of ulcers in my mouth, at the bottom left hand side of my jaw. They have been there for about 4 days. I didn't really think too much of them but today I've had a really sore jaw and it's really swollen.
I probably wouldn't worry too much but I have a mitral valve prolapse (heart), and if I have any infections in my mouth it has potential to spread to my heart........So, I rang the oncall GP service and they prescribed antibiotics. They went through the normal questions, and she decided to give me penicillin.
The problem with that is that I can't remember the last time I had penicillin. I'm really scared that I will have an allergy. With my heart problem, it's quite common to be hypersensitive to drugs.....I've taken some things recently which made me end up in A&E as the side effects gave me rapid heart rate and palpitations.
I've just taken my first dose, but already I can feel tingling in my feet and hands...I'm sure this is anxiety. Has anyone else had this?
Thanks
