Answers:
It is a slightly common side effect, but a pretty severe one!. Don't wait for the doc to get back - go to an urgent care doctor (no need to go the ER yet)!. Concentra and UrgiMed are two places I know of that you could start at!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try looking on the website I listed below for an emergency number to call, if not call the hospital and ask or a local Urgent Care might be the best bet!. Here are the side effects from the website:
