None for now: The first thing you need to do is to pick up the phone and make an appointment with your physician for a propr evaluation . Chest pain is not something you can pass like a headache. If it is associated with shortness of breath and other physical symptoms, may be go to er. After ruling out underlying medical condition, anxiety often presents itself with symptoms mimicking heart attack.

Chest Pain: It depends on the etiology of the chest pain. Musculoskeletal etiologies may respond to nsaids such as naprosyn, ibuprophen, or an analgesic such as tylenol (acetaminophen). Some topicals such as icey-hot may help and good old ice or heat may help too. For chest pain from organ dz, the answer should be evaluated by a physician for more guidance (eg, pleurisy, cad, pericarditis) unless you can be more specific.
