Hey Emily,

I haven't heard anyone describe your symptoms before but that doesn't mean you should ignore what's happening. In fact, please don't. It's always best to talk with your doctor if you're experiencing symptoms or side effects of a medication. The sooner the better.

I hope you called your dr right away! Women often do not have chest pain the way the text book says. We can also have heart attacks while still having periods, if your Dr. says this does't happen get a new Dr. Any time you have pain/ pressure in the left arm/chest/ jaw or for us in the chest, especially if you also have nausea/tiredness/weakness/sweating...call your Dr. right away. If it persists... call 911
