Hello moms,
Here's a little background. My daughter is a swimmer. She has been on the HS team for three years with no issues. This summer went fine. THen this Sept she started training with the Y before HS swim started and popped her hip out.
She took most of Aug and Sept off then went too hard the middle of Sept. Now she is in physical therapy.
PT is making it hurt more and instead of it just being her one hip it's both hips plus her lower back.
She was cleared by the dr for the HS team in October.
Last night she took a Naproxyn for the pain so she could swim. She took it at 3:30, her event was at 6:45
In the middle of her 200 she stopped and couldnt' breathe. SHe had to be pulled from the water and put on oxygen at the Y. She was shaky and looked woozy, although she said she was fine.
Does physical activity while on Naproxyn cause some people to lose their breath?
I got her home and she was fine. This morning she is still in bed. 16 yo's don't do mornings. I am letting her sleep in.
She does not have asthma.
The water was too warm, 84*
She said she could still feel the pain but it was dull at 6:00.
She has fainted at school before because she got too hot, I figured that was for lack of food and it was not in the pool.
As soon as the dr's office opens I am calling them and talking to her Physical Therapist on Monday.
She is PMSing.
Any ideas?
Could be iron. I thought of that too.
Dr wasnt' in today, of course. He was getting his Christmas tree.
I will have to call him Monday.
She already can't take Ibruprofen and Tylenol does nothing for her.
She will go to the practices but not practice, she can help coach.
Riley, Codiene makes me either nauseous and dizzy or so agitated and paranoid I can't stand being with myself. I tell the doctor's I'm allergic to it. Oxycontin does the same thing.
Thanks mamas. She is back to her mouthy self today.
I don't have any issues with it, and I am moderately active.
It sounds like she needs to take a break from the swimming & focus on healing 100%. It seems like she's overdoing it.
I would call the pharmacist and ask about the side effects. They can be very helpful!
I have an allergy to naproxyn. but normally it happens within the first hour or so. breathing problems are one of the symptoms of it. but talk to her dr.
I have a bad reaction to it... and it's on my allergy list in my medical chart.
It makes me hallucinate, become hydrophobic (which is weird, because I LOVE water... so going into panic attacks near water is just plain crazy to me), and start having panic attacks. So severe they can lead to heart attack.
This is no joke, and it's red flagged in my chart. Unlike an allergy, a bad reaction has to just be waited out, and the symptoms treated as they come. Once, when I was hospitalized, someone didn't think a 'bad reaction' (new grad nurse) rated an 'allergy' alert, and so gave me some anyway. Well, she learned her lesson! Even when the hospital knocked me out (to take the anxiety out of the equation), I was still shaking and seizing and my heart rate when over 200.
Nasty stuff.
For me the symptoms come on slowly. The first hour is just a feeling a little agitated/confused, then the hallucinations (mild, and not fun) come, and hydrophobia, and full on anxiety attacks, and then the seizures.
Not. Fun.
:P
I've taken Naproxyn and never had any problems with it, but I'm wondering if she has an iron deficiency.
When my iron is low, I (uncharacteristically) can't handle heat and tend to faint.
Definitely follow up with a health professional.
