Hello,

Dramamine (Dimenhydrinate) can cause CVS side effects like palpitations; hypotension; tachycardia but not chest pain as such. To rule out cardiac pain, ECG should be initial investigation. There are many side effects on prolonged intake.

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