Chest pain: If i understand the question correctly, you are wondering why an upper endoscopy has been recommended for your left upper abdominal pain. If there is concern there may be acid reflux disease, ulcers related to an infection or Ibuprofen usage, or other upper digestive tract problem. The scope test will provide the most answers. I'd recommend you hold both the Ibuprofen and naproxen, just in case.
