Question

rheumatoid arthritis?
I supposedly have rhematoid arthritus, so I was prescribed Naproxen. I have only had 3 tablets (1 each day) and now have a burning sensation in my stomach, I feel like vomiting and my stomach generally feels very heavy. Also when I breath in the burning sensation increases.

Stop taking this medication. It gave me the same feeling. NSAIDs can be pretty rough on the stomach. Always take them with food. If you have RA you should be on some sort of Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD). NSAIDs will help control the inflammation, but they won't control the disease. ....
