I have been taking mucinex for the past 3 days in order to relieve some chest congestion. I've been a little dizzy and I've had a slight upset stomach, but no fever or anything like that.
could these be side effects of the medicine? and, if so, are there any others?
thank you for the help.

you might have a virus, i had one similar to that about 21/2 weeks ago, lots of chest congestion, sick on the stomach & dizzy, but i didnt take the mucinex that time, i have taken it before, but with no side effects, you might want to go to your dr., you might be coming down with a flu or something.

I've used Mucinex for several cold seasons now, and haven't noticed any side effects from it. The dizziness may be from the congestion in your sinuses, which in turn drain into your throat, and then eventually to your stomach, which will make you queasy too. Still, if you are afraid it might be the medicine, you should stop taking it and go see your doctor.

Stop taking the Mucinex and your dizziness will subside. I had the same problem. Some people can't take certain medications sold over the counter.
Hope you feel better!!!

all meds can have side effects. i am a heart patient and they allowed me to take mucinex DM version so it probably has very few side effects

Always could be side effects of medications. I don't think this stuff does anything, but it is advertised well. I love those little bugger people.

you are probably dehydrated. Suggest you drink a whole lot more water.
