Had a scary experience with Phenylephrine 10mg/ml Inj, 1ml — anyone else?
I was recently given Phenylephrine 10mg/ml Inj, 1ml during a medical emergency, and I had some serious side effects. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. The medicine was administered to quickly raise my blood pressure, but I started experiencing severe headaches, dizziness, and even chest pain. I was rushed to the ER, and the doctors said it was likely due to the medication. I'm curious if anyone else has had issues with this drug, or if there are ways to mitigate these side effects. I've heard it can sometimes cause tissue damage if it leaks from the vein, which is terrifying to think about. Has anyone had that happen to them or someone they know?
