Hi i'm a 16 year old female and i take advil (ibuprofen) about once daily and have for years. lately i get light chest pain when i take it. is this connected?

Possible.Stop advil (ibuprofen): Long term use can cause irritation of esophagus there by causing chest pain - GERD and chest pain see a Gastroenterology. you might need evaluation for possible gastric ulcer -GERD . why a young person like you need to take advil. OTC Nexium (esomeprazole) is worth a try. stop advil

Possibly: If you can relate your chest pain to the timing of your ibuprofen, it is likely swallowing tube irritation/reflux. This is relatively common in teens whose eating habits are irregular and often include caffeine/chocolate and spicy foods. It is not heart related, but it would be worth reviewing the issue with your doc. A few changes in lifestyle/ diet/etc. will usually end this problem.
