Chest Tightness On Walking, Tooth Ache, Sick With Stomach Virus. Reason For Above Symptoms?

lately when im just walking a few feet i get tired and my chest feels funny. I take several deep breaths just to make sure im breathing ok but something feels off. a few days ago my tooth started to hurt and then a couple days later i was sick with some sort of stomach virus I asked the doctors could my toothache cause all this and they stated no due to me feeling a slight tightness in my chest. at the hospital they told me my heart was fine but i dont beleive they ran the right tests to make sure... Im 42 years old and female

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Toothache can cause stomach virus as it is caused due to bacterial micro-organisms accumulated within the decayed tooth.
I would advice you to get clinical evaluation done by your dentist .
Decayed tooth has to be restored or root canal treated.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Gargle using warm saline and chlorhexidine mouthrinse frequently.
Complete mouth cleaning has to be done.
Get routine dental check-up in every 6 months .
Take care.
