What Causes Chest Pain And Tingling In The Arm After Taking Penicillin?

I ve been having chest pain and today my arms went tingly and I felt nauseous and had shortness of breath. Went to emerge and they did EKG and sent me home with clean bill of health. I ve been on penicillin for a week for a strep throat infection. Two days ago I had a pain in my chest that went away after a minute.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux. I recommend using a gastro-protector such as Omeprazole 20 mg daily. I also suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day. I suggest to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
