wellbutrin and chest pain

I have been on wellbutrin to quit smoking for 10 days now, I have such chest tightness I feel as though I can't breath, like there is no air in my lungs.  I heard this is a side effect should I keep taking it?

Wellbutrin has sort of a stimulant effect effect. So yes it is possible it could be causing you palpitations. I would call your doctor ASAP and have him switch your meds and you should also go see a Cardiologist.
