Took my first dose of gabapentin 2 hours ago. i have gad, and am having dyspnea (common for me) but also mild central chest pain. what should i do?

Get checked: I would expect some sedation, clouding of your thinking, even dyspnea after gabapentin. Chest pain, however, is a rare side effect and other causes such as indigestion, esophageal spasm, or cardiac problems need to be ruled out. Get checked by your doctor and don't take more Gabapentin before doing so.
