What Causes Right-sided Cold Feeling In Chest While Treating Chest Infection?
Question: Hi,
I am recovering from a chest infection for which I was given antibiotics. However, it has been three days since the start of this treatment and I am now getting a cold feeling in the right side of my chest where I had the infection. I am also getting this feeling in my arms and sometimes my head. I previously have been diagnosed with anxiety but was wondering whether this could be something else?

Brief Answer:
Have you gone through chest x ray?
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Lung infection usually needs 7-10 days of antibiotic treatment. And symptoms slowly subside over 2 weeks time.
So 3 days is quite early to predict treatment effectiveness.
Get done chest x ray if you have not done yet.
Also let me know the name of drugs you are taking, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
