Yeah, read the side-effects of ibuprofen. Doesn't matter the brand-name, they're all the same stuff. One of the symptoms I had was elevated blood-pressure. I took the stuff at maximum-dosage for about 3-weeks for a sprained ankle. By the end of this three weeks, I tested my BP just on a hunch. It had gone from 115/70 to 140/90 !!!
After another 6-weeks, I tested again and was back to normal at 112/75. Quite a scare there!
