Is Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath Normal After A Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Hi I recently had my wisdom teeth pulled 1 week ago today and I have been having chest pains as well as shortness of breath even when bending over just to tie my shoe...I was thinking this may have been due to medication that I was given. Is this something that is normal

Hello,

Chest pain and shortness of breath after one week of wisdom tooth extraction are not due to tooth extraction. However, it can be due to the side effect of the medication, but to be on a safer side, you should immediately consult an emergency room and get yourself examined.

You should get your blood pressure and ECG checked. If it is due to medicine that you are taking immediately stop all the medicines as it is now one week, and is enough time you have taken the medicine. You should not delay and get checked to be on a safer side.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
