Hello!
Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!
Regarding your concern I would explain that a part of your complaints like nausea could be explained by possible treatment (Norco & Meloxicam) adverse effects.
Nevertheless, when it comes about chest tightening it is necessary a careful medical evaluation.
A clinical judgement of this complaint's nature (whether any association with food or drugs ingestion or even with shortness of breathing) would better guide the differential diagnosis.
In addition, some preliminary test like:
. resting ECG,
- chest X ray study,
- cardiac enzymes,
- cardiac ultrasound and eventually further pulmonary tests
would be helpful to definitely clarify your issue of concern.
A gastric exacerbation should be included in the clinical investigation too.
You should discuss with your attending doctor on the above mentioned issues.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further questions, feel lfree to ask me again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
