What Causes Tightness In The Chest While On Tylenol And Advil?

Hello, I had my wisdom teeth out on Thursday. I was given antibiotics, steroids, Tylenol 3s, and Advil for the pain and infection. Last night and today I am experiencing tightness through my
Chest, mostly on my left side, and a bit of trouble breathing. Could this be a side effect of the medication?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain tightness of chest and breathlessness can be a side effect of any of the medications that you are taking and needs immediate medical attention..

I would suggest you to stop taking all the medications except tylenol to control pain and immediately consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

You can also be advised an allergic test to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms and the medicine causing the symptoms so that it can be avoided and you will be given appropriate medications for relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
