Can Zyban Cause Chest Pain And Stomach Cramps?
Hi Doctor, I have been taking Zyban for three weeks now, and have stopped smoking for 7 days. I am 40 years old, female, 58kk, 1.67m. For the last three days I have been experience chest pain. It feels like a wind is stuck in my chest, and it is really painful. It doesn t come and go, it is there all of the time for the last three days. I want to know if this is a just a side effect from the Zyban, or if I should have it checked out. I also had stomach cramps for the first 3/4 days of taking the Zyban, but no longer have any cramps...

Hi,
Zyban (bupropion) is a medication that is commonly used as an aid for smoking cessation. This medication can cause side effects in some people even though it is generally tolerable. Chest pain and stomach cramps are both known side effects of Zyban, although they are not very common.
It is important to note that chest pain can be a symptom of a serious medical condition, such as a heart attack or pulmonary embolism. Therefore, if you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
In addition, if you are experiencing any side effects from Zyban that are concerning or persistent, it is important to inform your healthcare provider. They can help determine if the medication should be continued, adjusted, or stopped altogether.
Overall, while chest pain and stomach cramps can be side effects of Zyban, it is important to have any concerning symptoms evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
