Can my hypertension be caused by Ibuprophen and Tylenol? Those two medications I use mostly for any kind of pain that may occur. And have been using them for years. I heard that hypertension can be related to these medications if used often and for years. Is this true? Do you have some information about this?

According to some study that has been done on 80.000 women, Ibuprophen and Tylenol are significantly associated with increased risk of hypertension. Even infrequent use of this medications increase the chances for developing hypertension. Try to stop taking those medications and see if the pressure is dropping. Use aspirin instead of it.
