Ive been diagnosed with costochondritis and have been on naproxen for it for the last week. I dont have any appetite. I would like to know if naproxen is making me less hungry and giving me slight chest pains and should I stop taking them. Im also very tired alot of the time.

Hello, Chris! How are you? I'm sorry about the way you're feeling.

The Costochondritis can cause chest pain, that's usually one of it's symptoms.

As to the loss of appetite, yes that may be due to the Naproxen, it is known to cause stomach upset, nausea and irritation, as listed by the FDA.

Have you tried making sure to take it with a small snack and not on an empty stomach?
