Can i take ibuprofen for chest pain?

Question

Since yesterday, I've been feeling this dull chest pain, especially when I breathe deeply. It's not too bad, but it's constant. Can I take ibuprofen for it, or is that not advisable for chest pain?

Oh god, please don't take ibuprofen for chest pain without knowing what it is! I get so anxious even thinking about chest pain, it could be acid reflux or it could be something very serious. Please, please go to a clinic or hospital right now and let a doctor check you.

Whenever anyone in my family has even slight chest discomfort, we go straight to a proper hospital. Please do not self-medicate with ibuprofen for this. Let a cardiologist run the necessary tests and tell you exactly what is going on.

Beta, chest pain is very serious and you must not take it lightly. Do not take any English medicine like ibuprofen on your own for this. Keep calm, sit down, and let your family members take you to the doctor immediately.

Absolutely not. Chest pain is a major red flag, and popping a painkiller like ibuprofen is highly risky and foolish. Go straight to the nearest emergency room or call an ambulance. Do not wait around to see if a pill works.

Chest pain is not something you should treat with home remedies or random pills. Even if it's just heavy gas from a rich meal, taking ibuprofen can actually irritate your stomach lining further. Please get yourself evaluated by a doctor immediately to be safe.
