Mom getting older
Spent the last 2 weekends at mom's and really started noticing she's slowing down. Wouldn't know it from talking on the phone.

@gregloa are you on anticoagulants? Ibuprofen can irritate your stomach and potentially lead to bleeding if you aren't careful, but I am not aware of any other contraindications for it. You might want to discuss it with your physicians and pharmacist in case you need it.

If you have a fib, you’re on blood thinners because you’re high risk for stroke without them. You’re not supposed to take nsaids while on blood thinners.

@gregloa you may be on anticoagulants depending upon the type of atrial defect, but that is not an absolute contraindication, but I won't argue with you. Today, there is a nation therapy that if effective "cures" a fib and you can stop anticoagulation.
