Fosamax and chest pains

I started taking Fosamax on a Friday morning and by Saturday morning I was aching. By Saturday night I had severe aching and chest pains. My doctor said that my only other alternative was a nasal spray derived form salmon which could cause severe nose bleeds and nose sores PLUS aches.
So I decided to take my chances with Fosamax and hoped that the side effects would go away once my body got used to it. I just started my second week dose again this past Friday and have developed ongoing shortness of breath and chest pain. I can not live like this on a day to day basis and have decided after reading all the different side effects that various women have experienced while taking this drug to discontinue its use. As I am at risk for Osteophorsis according to my Bone Density Test, I can only hope that I never actually develop it and put put myself at risk in the future for hip fracture and loss of teeth.

I was on Fosomax for only two weeks and I experienced severe chest pains and the inability to swallow. I spent 5 days in the hospital on morphine until I was able to swallow and get liquids down. Even my siliva touching my esophogus caused horrible spasms to my chest. This is a horrible drug. What I found difficult to believe it that the doctors "poohed-poohed" the idea that Fosomax had anything to do with what happened to me. If it wasn't for my sister, an RN, who saw Fosomax being advertised and heard the warning of the side effects of chest pains and difficulty swallowing, I would have gone home from the hospital and taken another dose.
