[pct-l] Ibuprofen use increases the risk of heart attack

I had been taking Advil at the end of the day on the trail as a matter 
of course until I started feeling mild twinges of pain in my heart after 
I took it. Then I saw the warning on the label two summers ago about the 
increase in heart attack risk.  Here is an article explaining what my 
body had been telling me for 
years------http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-06-11-nsaids-heart_N.htm. 
Danish researchers found that NSAID pain medications not only increased 
the risk of heart attack for those with heart disease but for healthy 
people. They even mentioned people who are physically active and take 
these drugs routinely for pain.

Naproxen (Aleve) doesn't seem to have the same risk, according to the 
article.
