Frightened: You're frightening yourself! The dose of Flagyl is broad with much higher doses used for some infections. Adverse effects, when they occur are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain - not chest, arm, and shin pain. You're upset - be reassured: it's okay!

Med side effects?: This will probably wear off in a few hours. Don't worry.
