Does Furosemide Intake, Cause Chest Pain Like Side Effects?

I ve been having mild chest and abdominal pain for four days now(comes and goes, sometimes I m fine for multiple hours). At first I thought I was having heart issues but I really don t think it is. I ve been taking furosemide for about a month now for some fluid in my legs. After reading about it s side effects I m thinking this is my issue.

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Chest pain is rare while taking Furosemide.
Some people(4.93%)reported to have side effects like chest Pain when taking Furosemide. Possibility - muscle cramps or pain caused by loss of water in the body that carries away salt and minerals.
