What Causes Chest Tightness And Sinus Congestion?
Spent yesterday afternoon in emerg. Exposure to mold through body lotion that had gone bad. Started haveing tight chest and sinus congestion. Took an OTC antihistame; started having a racing heart, weired taste in mouth, weird smell in nose, everything I eat tastes weird. I was given an EKG yesterday, told to see family Doctor and arrange an echocardiagram and to wear a heart monitor for two weeks. I am on blood pressure med. thyroid med, celebrex for OA, as well as a water pill. Have been trying to drink lots of liquid to flush whatever this is out-not working. I am 46, 5'6", 215lbs, female.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern although you have not asked any question clearly and have just informed about the conditions, such chest congestion could be due to allergic condition or may be associated with cardiac failure but this is nothing to worry because in either case it will come around soon, hope this information helps, take care
