Advil (ibuprofen) is a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug. If your cardiologist has ruled out cardiac conditions and diagnosed it as inflammatory pain, then he has given you the right medication.
Do consult your doctor if the pain is severe and intolerable despite taking the medication as prescribed. I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day. Take care.
