Question
will taking 5 200mg of advil CAUSE A BIG INCREASE IN BLOOD PRESSURE THAT
IS 5 TABLETS A DAY.CAN  IT CAUSE HEART ATTACK OR STROKE  

Answer
Hi Bob and thanks for writing,

Advil can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use ibuprofen.

Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. Use only the smallest amount of ibuprofen needed to get relief from your pain, swelling, or fever.

As with any medication, only take it if you really need it and discuss its use with your primary physician to assess your personal risks.

I hope this answers your question,

Margot
