The Hidden Risks of Ibuprofen on Heart Health
Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are commonly used for pain relief, but a recent study suggests they may increase the risk of heart failure, especially when used frequently or in high doses. The study found that those using NSAIDs in the last two weeks had a 19% higher chance of being hospitalized for heart failure.
While occasional use is generally safe for healthy individuals, those with heart conditions should be cautious. Alternatives like physical therapy, acupuncture, and yoga can provide pain relief without the risks associated with NSAIDs.
