HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The java monster would contain a high level of caffeine which would potentially cause the chest discomfort that you are experiencing and also cause palpitations.
The ibuprofen is not likely contributing to these symptoms.
The symptoms should resolve on their own in most persons. If they are steadily decreasing then you can monitor but if there is no change or an increase then you may want to consider seeing your doctor.
Rest, fluids, monitor would be the main aspects of home treatment.
I hope this helps
