I had been taking Advil at the end of the day on the trail as a matter
of course until I started feeling mild twinges of pain in my heart after
I took it. Then I saw the warning on the label two summers ago about the
increase in heart attack risk. Here is an article explaining what my
body had been telling me for
years------http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-06-11-nsaids-heart_N.htm.
Danish researchers found that NSAID pain medications not only increased
the risk of heart attack for those with heart disease but for healthy
people. They even mentioned people who are physically active and take
these drugs routinely for pain.
Naproxen (Aleve) doesn't seem to have the same risk, according to the
article.
