I'm in the medical field but I can't figure this one out. Maybe because it me and not a patient.?

Question: I developed an acute sinusitus 2 days ago. I started a Z-pack yesterday. Last night I began to have epigastric cramping. No nausea or vomiting. I had a low grade fever of 99.8 (oral).Then this morning I rushed to brush my teeth because of this horrible taste in my mouth. I couldnt finish because I became very weak and short of breath. I had to sit on the floor and I hyperventilated for about 3 minutes. I'm having problems connecting the sinusitus, abdominal pain, fever, shortness of breath, hyperventilation, and near syncope to form a diagnosis. Does anyone have any idea whats going on. Please only answer if you have some medical experience.

Answers:
How are u sure of the acute sinusitis diagnosis? This is amongst the most misdiagnosed conditions.If ur diagnosis is correct then that explains the fever.The drug u took might have caused acute gastritis especially if taken on empty stomach. the bad taste too is likely drug induced. Weakness may be due to relative hypoglycemia(Lack of food).Anxiety of all this explains hyperventilation and this can cause syncope.
