I took vicks sinus daytime tablet about a week ago and ever since my chest has been hurting on and off daily with joint pain and my heart rate is slightly increased. should i be greatly concerned or is it just a side effect?

If you toke this once a week ago it has long since left your system. Any change in you body might have been triggered initially as a side effect, but to persist for a week I would really want to look for a different ongoing health issue. If it bothers you get checked out.

Some of your symptoms may be due to dehydration and not from the pill you took a week ago. Drink enough water, fruit juice or electrolyte drink so that your urine is mostly colorless. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
