What Causes Chest Pain After Being Bitten By A Bee?

I was stung by a bee yesterday and was sent to the hospital for a allergic reaction. I am now having chest pain and shortness in breath and faitage. I could hardly make eggs this morning and climb the stairs back up to my bed. I feel like a ran for hours just moving a little and I have a headache and chest pain. I have a had the headache for days before and nothing is working to make it go away. I have taken asprin and I still am having no luck with breathing and chest pain.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You haven't mentioned the treatment you've received and whether you've used something for the allergic reaction yourself besides aspirin. I'm telling this because one of the most common side effects of certain antihistamines is headache and I guess that taking an antihistamine must have been given to you at the hospital. So a common headache that became worse can be caused by an antihistamine. Shortness of breath and faintness (that's what you meant by "faitage"?) are not common side effects but they may occur sometimes. An allergic reaction may present with various symptoms. Faintness and shortness of breath are the most serious ones because they may lead to loss of consciousness and worse. In cases like that, urgent assessment in the ER is recommended. Chest pain is another good reason to visit the ER. So in conclusion this is not something to deal with at home. You should seek urgent medical attention.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
