GO TO THE HOSPITAL! If you think you are having a bad reaction to a medication, especially something involving chest pains or tightness, you should definitely go to the hospital just to be on the safe side! Or at least call your primary physician and ask what to do. Or better yet, go in and see him ASAP!

That sounds like a bad allergic reaction. I am also allergic to pennicillin, and I take erythromycin, which does have a VERY bad effect on the stomach (I get diarrhea and cramping), but the tightness in the chest scares me. Go to the hospital NOW!!! If it's anaphylactic, you could be in serious danger. Let us know how you're doing when you're well. Take care.

I hope that by now, you've already been to the Hospital. If not, I agree with the others, get there immediately!!

I have anaphylaxis with five classes of antibiotics, and e-myacin is one of them. If I were you, I would've been at the hospital already. Don't assume that just because you've taken 3 pills and haven't had a problem that you won't. On a few occasions, I've taken half a bottle of medication before suddenly having a reaction. With Duricef, I'd been taking it quite frequently for about six years before I had a reaction. So, please remember, reactions do what they want and are quite unpredictable.

It's best to remember that if you've had a severe reaction in the past, your chances are quite high of having another one (with a different medication, even) in the future. Also, if you've had a severe reaction in the past, it may be a good idea to ask your doctor for an Epi-Pen to carry with you. Believe me, it can save your life.

I wish you the best!
