I don't think any medicine should give you chest pain so perhaps you're not responding well to this particular drug, if it's not too late in the day phone the surgery who prescribed them and be advised or just go straight to A&E and get checked out! huff x

Chest pain can have many causes so best to get checked out ASAP.
