Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath, Headaches And Chest Pain

I had a Lupron shot on Nov 17th and have been experiencing side effects all of a sudden. It seems as Dec 10th I started having shortness of breath and now I am having headaches and chest pain. I went to the emergency room Dec 30th. I notified my Doctor yesterday and they did a phone appt and she told me that Lupron shots do not cause chest pains at all. What should I do about the pain in my chest.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
This injection is used for prostate cancer.
And prostate cancer can cause pulmonary embolism (PE).
Your all symptoms like sudden onset breathlessness, chest pain, headache etc are commonly seen with PE.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and CT pulmonary angiography for the diagnosis of PE.
If you are found to have PE then you need to treat it with thrombolytic therapy.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
