Management of chest pain

treatment starts by finding the underlying cause , and since chest pain is a very common complaint among people of different age groups , and it can indicate either a very serious illness that requires urgent medical intervention or a benign transient issue that could resolve on its own , that is why we need history and physical examination to assess the patient status .First if the pain is continuous radiating to the upper limbs or the jaw or there is associated nausea ,vomiting or sweating you should seek the nearest medical center since you may be suffering a heart attack. Generally we recommend taking some rest , using some cold water packs with naproxen 500 mg tablets twice daily to relieve the pain , and avoid both physical and emotional stress . if no improvement seen in 1 week we recommend seeing an internist as soon as possible
