Question
I had an abortion 2/25 then two days later I had to do it again due to blood clots three weeks later I had a severe case of PID put on flagyl doxycyline. Then two weeks later I nearly fainted and couldnt breathe so I went to the er. They said I was okay but next day went to diff obgyn from the abortion and found I had PID  still. 3/25. He put me on levaquin and flagyl. I had a period two weeks after the abortion and 28 days later March 29th. April 24th I started spotting but didnt get a heavy flow until the April 26th. I had unprotected sex 5/02. I woke up May 15th and the room was spinning for two days vertigo went to er nothing wrong I have a discharge extreme nausea. Can I still have PID and it can cause vertigo? or can I be pregnant even if it wasnt 14 days after my period I had sex? My period is supposed to come again on fri.

Answer
Hi Karen,

I found this link about vertigo but didn't see anything about PID causing this.

However, I did read through it swiftly and saw that certain medications can be a factor. Read it and see what you think. I would keep trying to seek medical opinions about this if I were you.

Please don't consider abortion again as you can see that there are dangers and risks that can happen. Is it possible that you are pregnant? You can go to a pregnancy resource center to get a free test. http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or try

Also, did you period start today, Friday? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know how you are doing. Also, do you have any emotional, psychological or spiritual problems from the abortion? Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
