Feeling chest pain after dry swallowing an aleve (naproxen). what should i do?

Drink a lot of water: Medications such as aleve (naproxen) can irritate the esophagus and stomach lining. They should always be taken with a full glass of water.

Don't do it: You should never do this. If the pill sticks in your throat it can cause major damage to your esophagus.
