Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having acute gastritis due to champagne.
Antibiotics are known to cause hyperacidity and gastritis.
And alcohol (champagne) after antibiotic actually worsen the gastritis. And this gives chest pain, chest tightness, pressure, feeling of breathlessness etc.
So your symptoms were mostly due to worsening gastritis by champagne. And your mom must have given you antacid that helped you.
So better not to take alcohol after any oral drugs (especially antibiotics).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
