CO is spot on. On the balance of probability the NSAID was a coincidence

Kidney and stomach issuesarewell known but the heart risk isstarting to worry us. It is both time and dose dependant so I wouldnt worry about sing these drugs occasionally. However unless you take them regularly - ie against the clock as opposed to 'as necessary' and for an inflammatory disease, they are no better than the much safer paracetamol. Most NSAIDs can be changed to paracetamol. We still use them after operations, but short term
