Yes, these can actually be the side effects of the drug your doc has prescribed but remember: the drug company lists every symptom the people in their test groups report - and it doesn't "blank" the reports against placebo. People are very suggestible, (Do you feel nausea? - "well come to think of it..."). Some of them may happen to have a hangover or gastrointestinal...

In my office practice, I swab throats daily looking for the dreaded strep bacteria and "rapid strep tests" allow concrete diagnoses to be made in a matter of minutes.

Hydrogen cyanide gas is a blood agent, which means it poisons cells by preventing them from being able to utilize oxygen carried in the blood. Exposure leads to dizziness, nausea, weakness, loss of consciousness and convulsions. Breathing stops and death follows. (Since blood agents are carried through the respiratory system, a gas mask is the only protection needed. If one is exposed to blood agents, amyl nitrite provides an antidote, if administered quickly enough.) (See surprising assets on the CIA payroll...
