Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Yes, it can cause high blood pressure if taken for a long time (a few days is not enough to do any harm).

Answer 2

Only an idiot would take medical advice from anyone on YA.  High BP can easily kill you.  Get your walking orders from a physician.  Dumb as a cause of death would be embarrassing to your family.

Answer 3

Yes, it’s possible.  But, everyone is different.   Some people can tolerate Ibuprofen better than others.   Monitor your blood pressure.   If it is abnormally high, switch slowly to Tylenol.   

I can’t take Ibuprofen longer than one day.   If I do, my blood pressure sky rockets.

Answer 4

That isn't a listed side effect, however it is reasonable that it is possible because of the side effects that are listed with circulation of the digestive system.

Answer 5

That is a lot of ibuprofen I would use half Tylenol and half ibuprofen

Answer 6

It shouldn't.  Taking high doses daily for 3 or more weeks will do permanent liver damage though.  

I was on 600mg 3 times a day for rib fractures for 2 weeks,  the doctor only allowed it for that long. 

Answer 7

That’s why I take it as a last resort.—- and regardless of what that idiot assistant manager at Burger King says, ONE DOSE can jack up your b-p. But it’s not like I’m a freaking RN or anything...
