Lightbulb you know...

severe pain raises blood pressure...That may be a factor too.

Naprosyn is still a risk type drug. It can cause bleeding. That happened to my neighbor, who almost died, and had to have her gallbladder artery tied off.

Naprosyn still has "some" cardiovascular risk, only not as high as other drugs
in the class.

I would consider other methods of pain relief for months/years control.
I personally think the bleeding risk is worse than the cardiovascular one.
Events more common in that way.

Use it as little as possible.
