Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen and the heart

ibuprofen

Avatar f tn I am a 32 year old female who for the past year has been experiencing "vibrations" when falling asleep. I've had an EKG, 24 hr. Heart Monitor, and an Ultrasound of Heart done. All of these tests came back with normal results. I decided to keep a journal of daily activity/food/Rx/etc.., I found that when I took Ibuprofen (600-800) for headaches that I would then experience the "vibrations" when falling asleep. I have talked to my Dr.
1182699 tn?1297574784 Just a quick question about the effects of Ibuprofen on the heart. Sometimes when I feel I'm having a bad "heart" day, either really strong beats followed by weak ones, or my PVC's/PAC's, I will take an advil and I usually start feeling better. I mentioned this to my PCP once and he said Ibuprofen has many effects on the body, it's not just a fever reducer/pain reliever so it very well could be effecting the heart.
460830 tn?1347219306 t take aspirin and ibuprofen at the same time - I alternate between aspirin, ibuprofen and acetamenophen (Sp?), so I won't be taking too much of either. But I do take fish oil and flaxseed oil caps every day. I had not taken aspirin nor ibuprofen since posting this, but a few days ago I took a single dose of aspirin, for the first time since then. But I noticed yesterday I had the SAME bleeding, in the SAME PLACE! I wonder what's going on?
1328595 tn?1283018449 I was prescribed 375 mg of Naprosyn for jaw pain/inflammation. I've taken it for two days and have had a painful side effect. Ever since I started taking it, I've had stabbing pain/burning in the sternum area of my chest. Pretty much all day long. I'm assuming its heartburn but I read that that happens with prolonged use. I rarely use over the counter NSAIDs, such as Aleve. Could it be my heart?
1534233 tn?1523388856 The top of my left shoulder is quite painful to the touch. I've tried ibuprofen tablets and gel, also paracetamol and codeine tablets. I've previously had some worries about chest pain being angina although all tests for this are negative. The pain goes into my neck a bit when I press my shoulder, I'm fairly happy this pain is not heart related. But wonder what I can do to treat it.
Avatar f tn Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen are often prescribed to calm the inflammation and ease pain and other symptoms.
Avatar m tn After months of severe shoulder pain from tendons, and little sleep, I threw the towel in and started hitting the ibuprofen. Onkly thing that kills this sort of pain. I hit it hard for a few days then take a reality check and give my poor old kidneys a week break :( Its actually affecting my mental heatkh, the pain and disturbed sleep for 9 months (rotator cuff injury) cant get in to surgeon for 6 more weeks so any pain relief advice would be great!
1386405 tn?1291587800 I also took a bunch of Advil before I knew i was pregnant, for a high fever. I was worried about the Advil AND the fever, and baby was fine with both. The biggest effect of Ibuprofen is in the last trimester. It affects the kidney/urine output of the fetus, which results in lower amniotic fluid levels. It can also thin your blood, which can increase the risk of heavy bleeding during delivery and after. Your OB will tell you the same thing.
3122657 tn?1357432602 Thank you all very much for your advice i did get more Acetaminophen i figure i should stick to what doc says and yes i do have a whirlpool tub i take plenty of hot baths and put the jets right on my back and legs helps till the cold gets to me then right back in the hot tub again for me you guys r great have a Safe and Healthy and Happy New year Racky
Avatar m tn I have been vomiting and my stomach hurts a lot I feel bloated.
Avatar f tn You ALWAYS want to follow direction on the label - Ibuprofen is normally 200-500mg every 4 hours. The extra strength Advil I looked at is 400mg and has a DAILY maximum of 3 tablets so 1200mg. Which means you took a full days dose in one setting. The problem with NSAIDs like Advil is the risk of GI bleeding, it is extremely hard on the stomach and digestive tract.
Avatar f tn I took tylenol this morning. I took Ibuprofen an hour ago . I coudnnt take it anymore. It was a one time thing and i feel so much better. Will my baby be okay?
7758733 tn?1402589420 Ibuprofen is a nono.
Avatar f tn If I understand your post and my math is correct you are taking 600 to 1,200mg at the most a day. This is with in the guidelines of the manufacturer. The concern would be in you were taking 1,200mg for months, 5-6 times a week. Occasionally it's ok. The best suggestion I can give you is to discuss this with your parents and PCP. If you have a need to consistently take IB that should also be addressed. Please talk to them. Take care and best of luck to you.
Avatar f tn My o b told me it causes miscarriage in early trimester and second trimester and harms the baby in the third I would stay away
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
Avatar f tn Can Ibuprofen cause dizziness, ear pain, stuffiness, and feelings of passing out if taken several times a week?
Avatar f tn -( they asked if I ever took ibuprofen and I have a few times , the doctors daid thays what its from so plz don't take it
7381903 tn?1391464888 Im sure your dr wouldnt prescribe anything that would harm the baby. But i would ring your dr office and just double check.
Avatar f tn I have a infected broke off wisdom tooth during my last pregnancy my face swelled up and I was out of Tylenol so I took a 800 mg ibuprofen. Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.
7923170 tn?1412999504 21 years old. Pregnant with second baby currently 11 weeks. Im currently taking Lovenox shots n my prenatal the passed 2 weeks have had headaches... Is it OK to take ibuprofen if I don't have tylenol available at the time.
Avatar f tn I have been having the worst toothaches these past few weeks. I just got the wonderful news that I am pregnant, but is it safe to take ibuprofen for my tooth.
Avatar n tn I've been having very bad tooth aches. I used to take ibuprofen & it stop the pain almost immediately. I'm 7 weeks. Can I take 1?
Avatar m tn My vet used to recommend it for his arthritic dog patients until one strange case happened. After the first dose, the dog became sick and started vomiting blood, and by the time the owners got him back to the vet the dog died. The aspirin literally ate a hole right through the stomach. I've used tylenol on my dogs (per vet instructions) in the past for early onset hip dysplasia, but found it not all that effective.
