Chest Wall Pain/ibuprofen question.

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

On Sunday I went to the ER for chest pains and was diagnosed with chest wall pain. I was told it'll pass, and to take ibuprofen to ease the pain. Yesterday I got the ibuprofen and took 1 at around 12pm. The pain went away, but around 3 hours later I noticed some swelling in my upper chest. I figured it was a negative reaction to the drug so I stopped taking it. So today I noticed I had swelling all over my upper chest, neck, and arms. Is this due to the drug or chest wall pain?
