Is There Any Natural Remedy For Chest Inflammation?

I have been suffering with inflamation of the chest and heart area for the past 4 1/2 years, I had a periocardectomy surgery about 2 years ago due the thickened and inflamed Pericardium. Was put on prednisone for about 2 years.I stopped the use of Prednisone about a month and a half ago. My inflamation attacks which result in chest pain and palpitations of the hart can only be controlled by Ibuprophen. I have been taking 8-10 (200mg) pills a day. Is there a natural substitute that may be easier on the stomach ? Thank you.

Hello.

I understand your concern.

You have undergone a relatively serious situation,and fortunately you feel good now.
My opinion is that this is the right treatment to do for this diseases.If you have problems with your stomach during the treatment you can add some medication for the stomach Omeprazole 20 mg once /day in the morning with your stomach empty in the time you take ibrufen and you will feel better belive me.
There is no natural substitute as i know but do not worry with omeprazol your stomach will be protected.

Thank you
