What Causes Left Chest Pain With Nausea?

I am 20 years old, normally fit and heathly, but recently been to my doctors and I have a chest infection. He gave me tablets to take but I had to stop taking them as they was making me feel really nauseous. I now have a pain on my left side of my chest near my heart and I am really worried.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of drug induced gastritis is more likely in your case.
Lung infection needs antibiotics.
And antibiotics are known to cause gastritis, this in turn causes nausea, left sided chest pain etc.
So better to take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.
Avoid hot and spicy food.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
