Hello, my name is Dawn. This is my story.I have been feeling dizzy, weak, and have had severe pains mainly on my left side for over a month now. The pain runs from my head into my neck and chest, down my arm and into my hand. At first the pains were on and off recently they are constant. I have seen every doctor imaginable. Cardiologist did EKG and ECG and said my heart is fine. PCP thought it was an ear infection but ENT said i don't have an ear infection. Neurologist suspected pinched nerve in neck but C-spine x-ray was normal. He sent me for a MRI of head without contrast. I will get those results tomorrow when I go in for my follow up appt. However, I had my test results sent to cardiologist and he had stated the results were nothing to worry over. My Gyn did extensive bw ( lupus, thyroid, etc. ) and my WBC was elevated. She sated that that does indicate an infection. Oral surgeon said I have an infection from an impacted wisdom tooth located on the lower left side of my mouth. The tooth is embedded in the mandibular nerve. He put me on Cipro 500mg bid. He stated he wants to clear the infection prior to surgery. I have been only on the antibiotic 2 days but I am still having the uncomfortable pressure and pains (especially in my chest). My question is can the infection from the tooth have travelled through my bloodstream and infected my chest? Would the infection have been able to be suspected on the echocardiogram? And if so can this antibiotic cure the infection. I am very anxious from all my reading on how a wisdom tooth infection can be deadly if it travels to the heart. I appreciate any advise or knowledge on the subject.
