Bactrim and chest pains

About 3 years ago I had severe chest pains and thought I was having a heart attack so I went to the ER and they couldn't find anything wrong. I had these chest pains over time but my doctor checked my heart out with every test and they were all normal. Last year when I took bactrim the bottom part of my tongue got a white film and it hurt very bad, I also had the severe chest pains again but I still did not connect it with bactrim. I started taking bactrim on July 7th-Monday and by Thursday I had the white painful film under my tongue again, and I actually started to connect it with bactrim use so I quit taking it but by Saturday night I began itching and getting hives. Sunday night I started having the severe chest pains again and went to the doctor on Monday, he has scheduled a cat scan for me, I have already had the endoscopy and chest x-rays but nothing. I sat down and began thinking and every time I take bactrim I have the severe chest pains. It is Saturday July 19 and I still have the chest pains and itching.

I have been taken bactrim for 1 day and feel awful. I came home from work and got straight in the bed. I was feeling real tired,had chills and all kinds of body aches from my head down to my legs. And what got me, is that both of my wrists hurt so bad till I can't lift anything. Also having chest pains and elevated heart rate. I just got up from lying down after work and thought, I will search the side effects for bactrim on the internet. I'm glad I did. I wil not take this anymore.

I took one adult dosage of Bactrim for a small persistent skin rash on my ankle. That dose has leveled me in a few hours. Chest pains, trouble breathing, body aches, loss of appetite and nausea. I went to GNC to get calcium and folic acid since I read calcium folinate is used to treat adverse reactions. They have helped some, but I still feel pretty bad. I can kick myself for not researching Bactrim first as I would have never taken a single dose.

Wierd. I have taken Bactrim before and had no incicent - that I can recall. Well, today I was diagnosed with Bladder infection - took 1st dose of bactrim and about twenty minutes later (as i'm walking into a restaurant), everything starts going haywire. First wicked itching, flushing of the skin - then eyes turn BLOOD red, face swells, tongue starts feeling fat and hurts - heart is pounding. I freak out - and throw some money on the table for a glass of tea - that I didn't drink - Husband rushes me back to clinic - as we both think I am having aniphilactic reaction. Terrified. Never experienced anything like it - my face swole up on the way - horrible. Wanted to scratch my skin off. Palms of hands, feet everything feels like its "asleep" and has needle like sensations. They ask if my airway is tightening (!) not yet? They give me a "steroid" shot (generic term I guess), and a Zyrtec. I start calming down on the way home - itching subsides and then chest pains begin - now I think i'm having a heart attack. I don't know if the trembling is from Bactrim or terror. I crawl into bed and start bawling - cuz I feel like I almost died. It scared the shit out of me. Husband paces and wrings hands. Now, hours later - I have sweats, fatigue (dramatic day), and heartrate is still elevated. Left tonsil hurts when I swallow. Yikes.
