NSAIDS

The issue

Over-the-counter and prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can relieve many types of pain. But some NSAIDs can also cause fluid retention and kidney problems, which may increase blood pressure — especially for people who already have high blood pressure.

Examples :

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
Meloxicam (Mobic)
Naproxen (Naprosyn)
Naproxen sodium (Aleve)

What to do

Have your blood pressure checked regularly. Talk to your doctor about which pain medication is best for you. If you must continue taking an NSAID that increases your blood pressure, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes or additional medication to control your blood pressure.
