Hi thanks for contacting HCM,
U r taking 4 capsules of clindamycin every 6 hours, so it can be possible to developed side effects like diarrhea, dizziness or heart burn which causing chest pain also. So tell your doctor to reduce dose and other treatment for diarrhea.
As side effects which u mentioned above are mentioned in package leaflet also.
