Hello,

You can have Naproxen for a short period of time or taking amitriptyline or duloxetine to help against chronic pain. Unfortunately this is a chronic condition. Anyway, I would recommend checking your heart regularly in order to exclude other possible causes underlying the pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
