What Causes Sharp Left-sided Chest Pain While On Flexidine?
Hello,I ve been taking 100mg of flecidine now for just over two weeks but have been getting sharp local chest pain on my left side and wondering if this is a side effect of the drug? I have had ultra sound on heart plus recent blood work to rule out inflammation and all test are normal. My doctor has suggested to stop taking the drug for now and see if chest pain subsides in the next week. Just wondering if this is a side effect of the drug?
After going through your query i understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that generally there is no side effects of taking iodine supplements unless you are taking in very high amount. You can apply some local pain relief gel .
Hope to have been helpful
Kind Regards Dr. Navneet Bansal
