I would get numbing chest pains and feel as if my heart had frozen, and it would last for 10min or 20min long. The nurses and doctors said if it happens that I should take maalox. I'm taking pepto bismo and it seems to help.

Also when I wake up and if it's bright outside, my eyes and head would immediately hurt and everything becomes like a weird psychedelic painting. I either close my eyes and run to my room with all the shades closed and wait about 5min or put on a pair of sunglasses. I feel like a vampire and this has been going on for almost 1 1/2weeks after the treatment.
