I have been flying for quite some time now and have never had problems breathing or walking or had chest pains like those recently experienced since my doctor gave me AMOXICILLIN.

After three pills, 24 hours us this antibiotic, I now suffer from severe chest and breathing pains, cannot walk more that 300 metres without agonising chest breathing pains that prevent me walking futher and all this started immediately after taking AMOXICILLIN.

My doctor tells me that AMOXICILLIN has no side effects; I would beg to differ, the internet, however, tells me that if after taking AMOXICILLIN and suffering my symptoms, then cease taking it, this I have done after 6 tablets. A side effect is Breathing problems it seems.

I am now awaiting a visit to a clinic to see a specialist and take tests.

My ECG at rest is normal, bearing in mind that a pilot over a certain age takes an ECG test at rest, my last test April 2005 as usual, no problems at all, so obviously I am concerned at my overnight condition.

I have, of course, grounded myself until I know what the hell is going on.

You will appreciate that I am not happy at all, considering that I have been disgustingly healthy for todate and never smoked, never consumed alchohol in excess, enjoyed a very healthy diet do date and never had this problem since taking AMOXICILLIN.
