Metronidazole for Trich /bad side effects

Posted , 1 user is following.

Unfortunately my test came back positive for trichomoniasis and a little bv so I was prescribed 2g of  metronidazole to be taken as one dose. I took it when I got home and immediately went to sleep the next morning I woke up I seemed alright but through out the day it got worst my eyes became sensitive to the light, I was dizzy, had neck and back pain,and a loss of appetite. That night as I tried to go to sleep it hurt for me to close my eyes they felt like it was something trying to push them out my sockets ,but eventually I was able to go to sleep. The next morning all those symptoms were still present but I had sinus pressure , nasal drip, and the top of my mouth started to get numb which caused my teeth to hurt. That was three weeks ago it has gotten better but I still have a little neck soreness here and there,sinus pressure,nasal drip, teeth numbness, and a little chest pain that started a week ago. But I went to the doctor for that and he diagnosed it as pleurisy. I’m getting worried because this has lasted longer than it should. Should I go back to the doctor for further evaluation...?
