Suggest remedy for precordial catch syndrome
Patient: Im 19 and have a history of precordial catch syndrome but it usually lasts only minutes and it comes whenever i last a few days without excercising i run 2 to 3 times a week i rested 4 days due to leg injury and it suddenly came and now i ve had it for 2 hours and it just hurts when i exhale what should i do? its never lasted this long Doctor: Hello,  Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, Aspirin-like drugs that work on inflammation would be the first thing to try. This includes naproxen, maybe ibuprofen at high doses, and several others.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
