@jeffmarc I did several searches using AI before calling two doctors. I don't take AI as gospel unless I can visit the source document. I could not find any reference to swelling of gums or the roof of my mouth. The nurses working for the doctors questioned me specifically about difficulty breathing or swelling of the tongue or throat, but I was not experiencing those symptoms and said so. I reported that other than the sensitivity of my gums and roof of my mouth, I felt fine. They both then said they would present my symptoms to the doctors and get back to me. The prescribing doctor recommended no further doses of the drug.

I don't immediately presume the professionals I'm dealing with have no idea what they are talking about, or that they are so incapable they can't even search the internet.

I reported what was happening to me directly to them, and I received good advice. I posted here to see if anyone else had experienced what I experienced, since my symptoms were not listed as far as I could tell as a side effet of Flomax.
