What Causes Heaviness And Left-sided Chest Pain While On ZPac For Sinusitis?

Hi, Yesterday I finished the zpac for a sinus infection. I still feel tired and heavy in my chest. I also have a mild pain on the left side of my back about mid way down. Not sure if this is related. I do not have a fever. I have started taking mucinex. Do you know if this will linger for some time?
