Paracetamol Daily Use results in Heart Attack - BEWARE!
Researchers discovered that taking paracetamol on a daily basis boosts heart rate and increase the risk of cardiovascular attacks and strokes. The researchers cautioned clinicians against administering paracetamol to those who are at risk of heart attacks or strokes. The study involved 110 individuals with a record of high blood pressure who were given "one gramme of paracetamol 4 times a day or a placebo after two weeks, before switching the schedule so the placebo group received paracetamol," according to The Telegraph UK.
Blood pressure had dramatically increased in the group given paracetamol after only four days, raising the risk of a heart attack or stroke by 20%. In the UK, one in every ten persons is administered daily paracetamol for chronic pain, despite the fact that one in every three adults has high blood pressure. professor David Webb, the university of Edinburgh's chair of pharmaceuticals and clinical chemistry, stated, "We've always assumed that paracetamol was the safest choice if we were attempting to convince patients to cease taking blood pressure-raising medicines like ibuprofen.
Stopping the use of paracetamol in people at risk of sudden cardiac arrest should be considered."
