NSAIDS AND HEART FAILURE
Hello doc,
I had read that nsaids will cause heart failure.
Past 4 years I used nsaids but not regularly which means used for a week whenever doctor suggests after that I stopped. I take 2 days if I feel any pain. Will these effect in future??? Is there any problem?? What are the preventive measures???

Why do you take so much NSAIDS at this age? They cause kidney failure more commonly than heart failure. I suggest not to self medicate yourself with NSAIDS. Consult a doctor when you are in pain
