What causes chest pain after tooth extraction?
Patient: I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday around four I was nervous going in, and I became more nervous or stressed out during the last two extractions bc they were really complicated to get out. I started feeling chest pain during that time and it has not gone away since, I took some heart burn medicine last night and this morning and I don’t think it has helped. I don’t know what this is Doctor: Hi..Thanks for the query.If you had chest pain due to having severe anxiety and stress then it is most probably due to severe anxiety and stress..But it should have subsided by now as it is enough of time to come down of stress related to extraction..But in case if there is no improvement and there are also any other associated symptoms like pain in arm, breathlessness, nausea, sweating, anxiety or anything else, then you should consult an Emergency room and get yourself checked..Certain details like your age, medical history etc is also needed to rule out the possible cause of the symptoms and then appropriate investigations and treatment can be advised..Hope this helps..Regards.
