I have already had two heart attacks and I am afraid that third I would not survive. For that reason I am in great risk if I take drugs that can be dangerous to the heart. Is Aleve dangerous to the heart I was told to the take Aleve for my low back pain?
Aleve is in a group of drugs called none steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Like other from the same group, Aleve was tested for increasing risk of heart attacks and strokes. The study was ended because the heart risk was discovered. If you really need to take same medicine for your low back pain, ask your doctor first for advice.
