Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Omastin is having fluconazole. It is antifungal drug.
This drug can cause reflux and heart burn.
So your symptoms like upper chest pain, breathing difficulty etc are mostly due to fluconazole side effects (reflux and heart burn).
So drink plenty of fluids orally. Avoid oily and spicy food.
Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach before Omastin dose.
Quit smoking and Alcohol if you are having these habits.
Well, for your skin disease, I think, you should consult dermatologist and start topical antifungal creams (ketoconazole, nystatin etc).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
