Can Indocin Be Taken For Left-sided Chest Pain?
I was experiencing left side chest pain upon moving, lying down and inhaling. After a electrocardiogram and echocardiogram that showed no indication of a heart problem, as well as, excellent blood pressure,the doctor prescribed Indocin 25MG 2X per day? Why?

Hello,
Indomethacin usually prescribed as an anti-inflammatory drug for relieving the pain of osteoarthritis, joint inflammations or gout conditions, usually not for a left-sided chest pain condition. Kindly discuss with your doctor again regarding its indication in your case before consuming it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
