Blood Pressure Challenges
My blood pressure had been quite good until the last couple of weeks, where it started to spike to 155/90.
Couldn't figure out what was happening, so i did a fair amount of research in the internet, and came up with a couple of good studies relating increases in blood pressure to the intake of Ibuprofen and also a study relating to Ibu and acetaminophen.
I had been taking a significant amoutn of IBU for some pain. I stopped and, voila, my BP this morning was 107/67, and yesterday was great all day also.
Interesting. Never thought of this connection!
Just thought I would share. Hope it keeps down!

Also, you will find more studies with a google search. These two were enough to convinve to stop taking IBU and see what happened.
