A member asked:

46 year old husband has had tightness across chest for 3 days. i have given him 2 ibuprofen. the pain hasn't changed. lying down helps. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get eval: I would get him evaluated for cardiac reasons for his chest pressure. It being positional is not typical of ischemia, but I would rather you be safe and have it checked out. If he can tolerate aspirin, not a bad idea to give him this preventively.
