Hi all, I've just had a New revelation. I deal with OA and the Hip mess and high blood pressure. On 3 blood pressure meds, my BP still stays elevated. After hip replacement in 2010 and off opioid drugs, I ended up with more ibuprofen. Tried to keep it at 4 a day and most days I did with some help in between with Pain-RX.

My new D.O. who I'm seeing weekly for bodywork is shocked at my elevated BP and I say it's white coat and it is a lot, but talking about Ibuprofen he said "this NSAID is keeping your BP elevated". Talked about the stroke possibility and of course the BP and I never thought Ibuprofen had so many possible side effects. So Many.

So he pushed me to get off Ibuprofen and I have been off over a week now and I'm so happy with the lower BP readings. It's coming down already.

I was so shocked at all the possible side effects with this NSAID.

For Pain Help I'm taking Pain-RX Cox 2 inhibitor and Arthritis Tylenol and I'm getting thru my days. And sleeping all night as well.
