Am I supposed to take Naproxen? I have medical history of heart attack. I told that to my doctor but it seemed that she didnt listen to me. Somewhere on the net I found information that people like me should not take Naproxen, or should be closely monitored. What should I do? Could naproxen cause a clot? What if I get another heart attack?
If you think that your present doctor is not listening, maybe it is time to change her. Naproxen can cause clots. And because of that it is not recommended to be used in people who already had heart attacks or strokes. It is used in such people only if the benefits from it are way ahead from danger.
