I've been having a lot of problems recently with like my knee, my leg, my heart, a cold, etc. and I went to doctors a couple times. All they keep doing is giving me medication and I heard that taking all these medications is not good for me in the long run. What should I do??

Alot of people are on many medications at once. As long as you don't get any weird feelings or bad reactions from them you should be fine. The doctor will do a blood test if he has you on meds. for along period of time to make sure your kidneys and liver and everything are doing OK. But if you aren't on the meds. for years you don't even have to worry about that. But you shouldn't be having all those symptoms. Have you tried seeing another doctor.

To begin with, I am sorry that you are experiencing so many health issues. Yes, you should go to the doctors. You know your body better than anyone else so if you feel that something is wrong go. Now about the multiple medication taking I would suggest a few things. You can go on line and check out what exactly your drug may interact with. Or you can go the all natural route and try an Osteopathic doctor. These doctors prescribe medicines that are typically all natural, roots, vitamins and so forth. I hope that helps, good luck and take care of yourself.

See a new doctor and ask him to give you a good physical check up blood test etc. that needed to see why you are having a lot of problem.

Change doctors and find out what is wrong before taking any medications

You need a COMPLETE physical. It's not normal to be sick all of the time. See your family, or if he/she is the one giving you all the medication, change doctors.

That is definitely something you should talk with your doc about. Tell your doc your concerns about long term effects. Don't rely on strangers who don't know you or anything about your health to give you any better advice that that. If you don't trust your doc, find a new one or at least get a second opinion.

I would find a good internist and have him/her put you through a total physical. Start from scratch.
