Metformin can cause chest pain, potentially due to lactic acidosis, a rare but serious side effect. This condition results from metformin accumulating in the blood, leading to an imbalance.
1. Metformin can cause chest pain, often due to lactic acidosis, which stresses the heart, or allergic reactions affecting the cardiovascular system.
2. Chest pain from Metformin is rare but may be linked to its cardiovascular effects or a sign of an allergic reaction that can include chest discomfort.
