Chest pain after prolonged sitting is often due to poor posture, muscle strain, or acid reflux rather than a heart issue. I advise against self-medicating without a proper medical evaluation. If the pain is musculoskeletal, taking frequent stretch breaks, correcting your posture, or using an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen can help. If it is due to acid reflux, an antacid may provide relief. However, because chest pain can sometimes indicate serious conditions, you must be evaluated by a doctor. Seek immediate emergency care if the pain is crushing, radiates to your arm or jaw, or is accompanied by shortness of breath and sweating.
