It could be an asthma attack!. Use your inhaler!. If that doesn't work go to the emergency room right away or dial 911!. It's better to be safe than sorry! Asthma is a serious condition if not properly controlled!. Also, it could be a side of effect of the allergy/cold medication and you probably took too much of it!. Drink a lot of water so that you flush it out of your system and don't take any more medication for at least 24 hours!. Always use medications AS PRESCRIBED!. In the mean time don't drink caffeine or have anything that could stimulate your system (including colas, chocolate, etc!.)!. Drink something warm (such as green tea) and honey and use a heating pad on your chest!. 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, and rest!. This will at least give you some comfort until the medication is out of your system!. Call your doctor and explain the details of what happened!. They may or may not want you to come in for a visit!. Feel better!

You need to go the Emergency Room, let your parents know how you feel, you might be having reactions to all the medicine that you took!. Sometimes you might have asthma attacks and it feel very bad because my son tells me how it feels as he has asthma also!.
I work at a clinic and when patients need to be seen for tightness of the chest, we immediately tell them to go to the Emergency Room!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd say that parents who make fun of a child who is in pain and refuse to take to a doctor, are committing child abuse!. Insist that they take you to the doctor!. Or find another adult who will!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
