What Causes Chest Discomfort While On Medication For An Affected Tooth?

I have had an affected tooth for about 3 wks now. I have seen a dentist and I need a root canal. He has prescribed me penicillin & ibuprofen. Since this tooth problem I have had chest discomfort between my boobs & underneath as well. I am also SOB & have to use my inhaler.

There is no direct relation betwwen your tooth and chest. But if you are taking ibuprofen , it can cause gastritis which can cause chest pain. So it is advisable to take proton pump inhibitor Tab Pan 40 mg 1 tab OD along with it.
