What Causes Fatigue And Neck Pain While Suffering From Tooth Infection?

Hi. i have an infection on my lower right tooth and i'm supposed to have an extraction. meanwhile its been since last week that i don't feel well and this week i feel fatigued, tired (i work at a desk), my neck and shoulders are stiff and in pain and i have this strange pain on my upper left chest which shoots a pain down my arm as well. Do you think it is cold? I have taken theraflu and dayquil and they work for a bit but thats it.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain the symptoms that you are explaining does not seems to be related to either decayed tooth or due to cold, rather it is pointing towards some cardiac issue..

I would suggest you to consult a Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like ECG, 2D Echocardiogram etc can be advised to rule out the cause and treatment can be done accordingly..

I would suggest you to first of all get thoroughly examined for the present symptoms and once the diagnosis is done and you are advised proper medications, then only you should proceed for the tooth extraction as if at all there is some cardiac problem then extraction without proper precautions can cause complications..

Hope this information helps..

Regards.
